Advance your Mexican folkloric dance skills in a dynamic, culturally rich class designed for returning dancers!
In this intermediate-level program, students will dive deeper into traditional Mexican folkloric movement — strengthening rhythm, technique, choreography, and performance readiness. Dancers will continue building zapateado, skirt work, musicality, and stage presence under experienced instruction delivered in both Spanish and English. This program supports steady progress without returning to basic steps each week, allowing students to grow together and prepare for community performances such as Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
Intermediate Level. Age & ability: 10–16 years old; returning students at an intermediate level only
This workshop takes place every Friday from March 6-May 8 (except during Spring Break, March 27), 9 sessions in total, from 5:30-7pm.
