5, 6, 7, 8 Niki Amir, May. 31, 2019 Performance groups find community and celebrate culture on stage."Dancing was always just something my mom and I always did. It’s fun to be a part of a group where you don’t have to translate your culture." - Sofía Sánchez "Ahana is a space where I can step out of my comfort zone and choreograph and learn new styles. It’s a place where I can express my South Asian culture with my fun-loving teammates." - Keertana Jain"Folklórico means so much to me because it keeps me tied to my roots in a way beyond traveling back to my motherland. I have learned more than just how to dance, I’ve learned about Mexico in a way I could never learn in a classroom." - Lesley Meza"There’s this community between all of us, even if we’re not all Mexican. And there’s a sense of comfort and a different energy that you can bring as a person of color to groups of color versus as a person of color to white groups." - Mia Isabel Dominguez Hodges
