Though logistics are still in the works, there will be a class period scheduled sometime before lunch. “It’s really nice to see people come and watch our dances” Says president Delia Villanueva Rojas
The group will perform at several events and cultural events throughout the year at Golden Valley. They also perform at local elementary and junior high schools.
Not only is joining a club a great way to meet new people, but the skills and culture learned from joining will enrich the Golden Valley experience.
