About Santana Charro Bros.
Our Mission
Santana Charro Bros. is a Mexican Folklore Youth Dance Group that represents the authentic Mexican traditions through cheer, music, and dance. We are a non-profit group. Our mission is to teach the students technique footwork while fostering cognitive function, hand and eye coordination, focus, and discipline to synchronize their movements with music. Mexican Folklore is a representation of our culture in many different ways, artistic paintings, theatrical plays, dancing, music, all which represents Mexican stories and for centuries, our way of living. We represent Mexican Folklore through movement and dance. We started with 3 brothers and some friends practicing in our patio and rapidly gained popularity performing at our local church, schools, and community events. Santana Charro Bros. is always accepting new students ages from 5 to 18.
