Founded in 1980 on the San Francisco Peninsula, Raices de Mexico aims to promote cultural diversity through dance, music, art, and community engagement through workshops and performances. Students learn movement, background, history, music, and the traditions of each dance form to gain a well rounded cultural experience. Workshops that focus on dance and traditions are also offered, such as Dia de los Muertos and Posadas. Instructors teach dance while encouraging children, teens, and adults to achieve individual excellence and confidence in a supportive group environment. Interpersonal relationships, team unity, cultural awareness, respect, sensitivity, and courtesy are key elements of the Raices de Mexico program.
Classes for three levels are offered Friday evenings in Palo Alto and Saturday mornings in Redwood City. Now accepting online registrations for classes that begin in August. Try one class for free!
