Grupo Folklórico Los Mejicas is a Mexican Folkloric dance group at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The mission of Grupo Folklórico Los Mejicas is to conserve the traditional Mejicas style; to teach the Mexican culture and historical aspects of the nation through art and interpretation in their dance. The Mejicas use history and art to bring together students and community members.〔"http://www2.ucsc.edu/mejicas/history.html"〕 == History == Grupo Folklórico Los Mejicas is one of the oldest student organizations on the UC Santa Cruz campus. It was initiated at Merrill College in 1972 by a small group of students who taught each other dances.〔"http://www2.ucsc.edu/mejicas"〕 Since then, the group has grown and branched out. To this day, Los Mejicas has over 60 active members. Los Mejicas has been dedicated to the preservation and continuation of Mexican folkloric culture. Here, both students and community members learn a variety of dances and repertoires that change every year.〔 The group is self-taught by elected student members and also learns dances from the occasional guest-instructor. Instructors include Maestros from neighboring groups, student members who have learned dances at different dance conferences, and instructors who have previously been in the group. Los Mejicas is committed to group retention and preservation, and serves as more than just a dance group and student organization; it provides a safe space and is a community of peers bound together by the love of dance, and of Mexican culture.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grupo Folklórico Los Mejicas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
