Los Lupeños Academy
LOS LUPEÑOS ACADEMY
Throughout its history, dance education has always been a part of the vision of the Cashion Cultural Legacy and of Los Lupeños de San José. Over the years the Los Lupeños has hosted workshops, promoted national conferences, and sponsored visiting master instructors. Simultaneously, an established curriculum of classes has been offered since its inception with brief interruptions due to space or economic constraints.
The Cashion Cultural Legacy offers public folklórico dance classes under Los Lupeños Academy. Our Academy has options for toddlers, children, teens and adults, at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. Academy instructors not only teach dance, but connect the steps to music, customs, culture, language, and history. Students have the opportunity to learn dances as well as what they represent.
