Join Calpulli Mexican Dance Company starting on October 21, 2025 for a 5-week dance program. Classes will be held Tuesdays at 2pm. All levels welcome!
This five-week workshop series – led by Calpulli Mexican Dance Company in partnership with Sunnyside Community Center – will concluse with a special final presentation featuring the vibrant seniors of Sunnyside, showcasing the skills, stories, and traditions they’ve embraced through Mexican folkloric dance.
Rooted in LPAC’s mission to engage historically underrepresented communities, this workshop series honors older adults who are often overlooked in arts programming by creating a joyful space for movement, connection, and cultural expression. Through Calpulli’s expert guidance, participants explored traditional Mexican dance forms, building confidence, community, and a deeper understanding of heritage.
The final performance is not only a celebration of their journey but also a reflection of LPAC’s commitment to preserving cultural traditions while fostering inclusivity and intergenerational connection.
We invite you to witness their hard work and join us in applauding these inspiring performers as they take the stage!
