Fresno City College’s Folklorico group put on a Noche De Danza Mexicana [Night of Mexican Dance] at the Fresno City College Theater on April 25.

The show was composed of Chicano-Latino Studies students at the beginning and advanced levels.

Students got the chance to dance in front of family and friends. “This helped them find their culture, traditional style,” said FCC Instructor Raymond Ramirez. “From old to present day dance, they showed the public what they can do and to be proud of their heritage.

Some of the groups that performed included El Alma de Clovis High School, Danzantes de Aztlan Juvenil and Los Danzantes de Aztlan de Fresno State.

Victor Torres, Chicano-Latino studies teacher said, “these students take what they learn in class and apply it to the stage.”
