Chavalos Dances

Chavalos Danzas por Nicaragua was established in the Latino Cultural District of San Francisco; we felt the need to display and showcase the multidimensions of the Latino identity, specifically from a Central American point of view and what that experience is like here in the Mission District. Our programming highlights these traditions through our folkloric dances and music. Our Dance Program teaches Nicaragua's main regional dances and dances from the Atlantic coast and traditional folklore from Masaya. Each region has different music, rhythm, and choreographies for Folklore dances, divided into quarterly curricula.
