Internationally acclaimed folklórico dancer and instructor José Tena, from Las Cruces, New Mexico will return in February for his annual Boston Folklorico workshop.  José established the Ballet Folklórico de la Tierra del Encanto in Las Cruces to preserve the traditional regional Mexican dances through researching, recording, teaching and dancing.  He has organized and taught in Mariachi and Folklorico conferences in both the United States and Mexico.  

Did you have too many tamales over the holidays?  Haven't danced since Thanksgiving?  Need to get back in shape before Jose gets here?  All three?

Here are some ideas:

Join us at Tony Williams Dance Center on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m.
