With the support from the California Arts Council, East Bay Center for the Preservation of Cultural Arts (EBCPCA) AKA Ballet Folklorico Mexico Danza (BFMD), will provide vital cultural arts programs for the community in Alameda County. Our program and services will fill a void for cultural arts to students in our school districts that will include arts education, classes and a professional production.
Our proposed project will provide folklorico dance education and instruction to school aged children. They will learn choreography that will be presented in a professional production, at a local theater. The families of each student will be offered two free tickets so that they can see their children on stage and see what their child has learned.
Our non-profit dance company, East Bay Center for the Preservation of Cultural Arts, is dedicated to preserve and present the beautiful Mexican culture through dance. Our dancers are given opportunities to perform at some of the Bay Area’s largest events and companies. Sponsor master instructors in a variety of performance art forms to increase the educational experience of students. Our goal is to showcase their talent across multiple stages and gain confidence on stage. We accomplish this by offering education and dance classes to children, teens, and adults, of all experience levels, and nationalities from our diverse Bay Area community.
