Danzantes Unidos presents its annual gathering, Danzantes Unidos Festival (DUF) 2013 "Nuestro Nuevo Amanecer" on March 22, 23 & 24 at Clovis West High School in Fresno, CA.

DUF 2013 is a three-day celebration of Mexican Folk Dance with dance workshops & evening concerts. Curriculum will include movement sessions for all ages and skill levels and with repertoire from the states of: Baja California, Baja California Sur, Chiapas, Colima, Durango, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacan, Nayarit, Nuevo Leon, Oaxaca, Puebla, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Yucatan & Zacatecas with special workshops: Parent & Me Folklorico Fun, Folklorico 101 for Beginning Adults, Latin Rhythms & Bolivian Dance.

The Showcase Concert Series will present the work of performing companies from throughout the state of California. Rounding out the weekend activities are the DUF Mercado - folklorico marketplace - and the Pachanga y Fandango - evening social dance events.

In the tradition set forth by previous festivals in Los Angeles, Fresno, San Diego, Salinas, Hayward, Sacramento, Gardena, Whittier and San Jose, Danzantes Unidos Festival 2013 will once again celebrate the spirit and pride of our living Mexican culture. We look forward to seeing you at the largest gathering and celebration of Folklorico Dancers in the world!
