With the support from the California Arts Council, Instituto Mazatlán Bellas de Sacramento will provide a Cultural Dance experience for both youth/adult by reaching out into our community and provide hands on instruction in folklórico and West African Dance. We will present the finished works in a festival that will include community service resources, games and arts activities, performances to the community of Sacramento County District 1, a community that is experiencing revitalization.
