DanzTrad "Traditional Mexican Dance" is a young group created in September of 2013 with the idea of ​​creating a workshop so that all type of people interested in the Mexican folkloric dance could have access. DanzTrad also intends to show and promote culture and art to younger generations. The group began as a workshop, but little by little DanzTrad began to work more thoroughly on different techniques and forms of zapateado and in the history behind the Mexican dance. DanzTrad has had the honor of being invited to major events in the city of Madison as the international festival at the Overture Center for the Arts. DanzTrad has participated in a variety of Madison community events including "Hispanic Fair" "Art Fair on the square" among others. DanzTrad has also been working in collaboration with the Madison School District, UW Art Department and other educational events such as "Day of the Dead" at Edgewood College. The members of the group are a great mix of ages and occupations. Each member takes pains and demonstrates their passion and dedication towards the learning of the culture and the Mexican history through the dance.
