A Taste of Mexican Dance

Move to the music! Join friends and dance instructor Nichola Goss each month in learning line and folk dances from around the world.

Mexican folk dance is an uneven synthesis of different cultural traditions. Its historical root is the synthesis of indigenous, European and African cultural influences, but it continues to evolve with influences from modern pop culture. It is not one particular style, but rather a collection of various regional and ethnic traditions. Stick around after the lesson for refreshments and conversation. No dance experience necessary!
