Each July, the Del Mar College (DMC) Mexican American Studies (MAS) Program offers a full day of immersion into the rich culture and history that defines the heritage of many South Texans. It’s like taking a short daytrip without leaving home as participants learn more about the program while also attending sessions covering Mexican American art, literature, music, the humanities, U.S. history and politics as well as the Spanish language.
“A History of Dance in South Texas: From the Perspective of a Professional Dancer.” Saldivar has been a presenter during the seminar for several years and continues to share traditional and captivating Folklorico dances while educating participants about this unique form of dance originating in Mexico.
