LOS TALLERES DE MANUALIDADES PARA ADULTOS QUE IMPARTE FRIDA.

En los talleres de manualidades para adultos que imparte Frida, nunca es tarde para mantener vivas nuestras tradiciones.  


En Curie High School, las mamás participaron en varias clases donde aprendieron a hacer pan de muerto, calaveritas y papel picado, como parte de los festejos del Día de Muertos.  


En Frida, siempre estamos atentos a las necesidades de nuestra comunidad, ayudando a preservar nuestra cultura y creando recuerdos que duran para siempre.

NUESTRAS CLASES DE BAILE FOLKLÓRICO SON MUCHO MÁS QUE APRENDER PASOS.

En Frida, nuestras clases de baile folklórico son mucho más que aprender pasos, dominar la coordinación o el trabajo en equipo.  Cada zapateado, enseña a nuestros niños a mantener el equilibrio… para que siempre tengan los pies bien plantados.  


Son lecciones que los acompañarán por siempre, dándoles fuerza y confianza para enfrentar cualquier reto.  


En Frida, formamos niños con una autoestima saludable, porque el baile es movimiento, es cultura, pero también, es crecimiento para toda la vida.

PIÑATAS ARE A JOYFUL TRADITION!

At Frida, our workshops for parents are essential to the well-being of our community. By preserving our traditions, we stay connected and remember where we come from.  


The piñata is a joyful tradition that brings families closer, as adults and children share moments of pure happiness and unity.  Frida is building strong families through culture and tradition, fostering a sense of belonging and pride in our heritage. 


By sharing these meaningful experiences, we create lasting bonds that strengthen our community for generations to come.
