People can also see that there is The next act to take the stage is the Irish Dance Group. Co-executive director April Garcia, a sophomore from Lyons, feels that the decision to include the Irish dancers was impor­ tant not only because of their ability but also because it highlights the diversity of the student body and stu­ dents who have more than one ethnic background. The Irish dancers were adamant about being as Latino as possible, dancing to Latin music. since the organizers feel that as long as the acts express Latino culture they com­ plement the production as a whole. An interesting aspect of Celtic dancing is that it does have roots with flamen­ co dancing, making it even more suit­ ed for the production. Mariachi NO, a student-run organi­ zation on campus, will be performing twice in Locura Latina. Also perform­ ing will be individual dance and singing acts that composed their own acts, and a poetry performance. The poetry reading is focused on the theme of being the Latino woman. Rounding out the first half is Ballet Folklorico. Although the group's instructor is from outside the University, the organization is basical­ ly run by students. One of their dances will be from the state of Jalisco in Mexico, "La Negra."

madness for arch riety of talented acts celebrating the Latin community

One of the individual dance acts is an extremely creative dance by three girls, entitled "Malaghena." This is a Brazilian influenced dance, with much "Shakira-style" hip movement. Garcia feels this performance exhibits a central objective of Latin Expressions, which is to present the many faces of Latino culture. A stu­ dent who knows about being ~,"..... Mexican-American might not know ... about other parts of Latin back­ ' ground, and can come to the per­ J formance to experience new kinds of Latino heritage, as well as students who know nothing about Latino cul­ ture. Troop NO, a hip-hop influenced dance group that makes up their own routines and learns their dances from each other, is another exciting addition. "They're able to be in so many pro­ ductions because they're able to mold ' themselves to whatever the produc­ tion needs," Garcia said. "If we say • we have a Latin show, they'll dance to Latin music and incorporate Latin dance moves."
