With support from the California Arts Council, Calidanza Dance Company will create a program that builds leadership, team building and cultural appreciation by working with youth in the Sacramento region, developing a program that allows youth to create, imagine and lead a dance project. The youth will work collectively to research and develop a Mexican folk dance with help from Calidanza. We will help discover future artist in our region.
Calidanza Mexican Dance Company is a multi-faucet community based organization that serves the artistic and cultural needs of the Latino community of Sacramento, CA. Our organization offers classes, workshops, public performances, in school arts programming and educational shows in and around the Sacramento community. The purpose of this project will be to offer the underserved Latino population of Sacramento a viable outlet to learn, observe, participate or appreciate Latino/Mexican arts programming in their own communities as well as in public venues open to the public.
