Folklórico dancers from Los Lupeños de San José pose for a photo near the base of the UC Santa Cruz campus. The dancers are part of Cashion Cultural Legacy, a nonprofit arts organization based in San José, and came to Santa Cruz for a recent photo shoot. Los Lupeños de San José is a professional dance company that brings Mexico’s diverse regional traditions to life through research-based performance, artistic excellence, community engagement and intergenerational cultural learning.
