ILLUSTRATING THE IMPACT
For over 5 decades Los Lupeños de San José and its sister programs have made a profound impact in the lives of the San José community. Founders Susan Cashion and Ramón Morones believed that folklórico dance should be performed by anyone that can dedicate the time to learn and portray Mexican traditional culture at its best. And that it should be enjoyed and respected by everyone else!
