About Me



New, old friends, dancers, musicians that are involved in the research and dissemination of traditional folk music and dance of Mexico, Central, and South America, people who are involved in the arts and in keeping the cultural roots and traditions of people of color alive.

My Interests

I love anything that has to do with traditional folk music, especially from Mexico-learn the historical development of these forms of regional music to learning to dances that accompany them.I would love to learn the traditional dances of Bolivia and Chile as well as flamenco... let me know if you know these!And of course social dancing, cant say no to a good night of cumbia, banda, nortena, merengue dancing... its cleasing for the soul!

I'd like to meet:
