Reinforcing our Commitment
Classes de Danzón
Learn to dance the latin beat Danzón
The arrival of danzon on Mexican soil started through the peninsula of Yucatan, where the geographical proximity aided the exchange of musical works, which helped the musicians of the peninsula to adopt the music as their own and by the end of the past century were composing some of their own original danzon pieces.
Afterwards, danzon arrived in Veracruz, where in contrast to the peninsula, it is still to this day a very important and current element in the cultural life of the jarocho city.
Relive those moments in time by attending our Danzón Classes.
We will also focus on skill set development and provide guidance for entrepreneurship using the arts. Volunteers, community leaders, and local artists will be the driving force of our program.
Join our monthly gathering for colcheras of all skill levels. If you are beginning or advanced in the traditional New Mexican style of embroidery, bring your current colcha project along and enjoy these monthly, informal, community work sessions to share ideas, resources and encouragement on entrepreneurship!

Casa de los Abuelos
Helping our elders
Every Wednesday and Friday 5 to 8:30
La Casa de los Abuelos is a senior program created by Casa de la Cultura, a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of Hispanic / Latino art in Tulsa.
La Casa de los Abuelos aims to provide a space for seniors to not only socialize, but share their knowledge with each other. Whether it is art, music, dance, games, story telling or crafts, this will be a safe and comfortable space for them to get out of their daily routine and feel valued.
La Casa de los Abuelos will fill an existing void in our community, and is an honest attempt to build bridges of access, communication and health. These factors tend to improve the quality of life of this sector of the population, breaking routines of life in isolation due to lack of mobility, resources or due to language barriers.
La Casa de los Abuelos will be a challenge and a call to the entire community to collaborate in creating a more active and healthy lifestyle for our parents and grandparents, within a safe, stress-free and constructive environment.
