Founded in 1977, Danzantes del Alma is a retention program housed under the Cross Cultural Center that fosters and nurtures student leadership, intellectual curiosity, and artistic expression through the art of ballet Folklórico.

Las Historias de nuestras Raíces son todas aquellas partes de nuestra cultura que nos permiten comprender la vida que nos rodea. Our 47th Annual Show is born out of the idea that love is more powerful than hate and that united we are strong. Through this wonderful journey across the history of México, the UC Davis Danzantes del Alma will tell those stories that have been passed down to us by generations. Every song, every step and every region including Aguascalientes, Michoacán, Revolución, Guerrero and Veracruz will grant the audience the opportunity to celebrate the beauty of Mexican culture. Join Danzantes del Alma at the Mondavi for our 47th Annual Showcase: “Historias de mis Raíces.”
