This Summer, the Hecho en Westwood Danza Mexika Afterschool Program is offering even more opportunities for BIPOC Southwest Denver youth & their families to connect with and preserve their ancestral and cultural legacy. Throughout the week, we will be offering a series of different classes from step-by-step Danza ensayos and Mexika philosophy lectures to engaging hands-on art activities and cooking classes. In addition, we will also be offering a 1 week summer camp at the end of July.
