For the 32nd year, Los Danzantes de Aztlán, Fresno State’s folkloric Mexican dance troupe, will present “Christmas in Mexico” from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Satellite Student Union.
The show began with the idea of combining two popular Mexican cultural elements – Las Posadas, a traditional Latin American depiction of Joseph and Mary seeking shelter for the birth of baby Jesus – along with traditional music and dance. The show will also feature dancers of all ages from local schools.
Tickets are $10 presale, $12 at the door and $5 for Fresno State students. The show is sponsored by the Department of Chicano and Latin American Studies and the College of Social Sciences with support from the Instructionally Related Activities Grant by the Associated Students Inc.
