Our Mission
Founded in 1986 by James Harvey-Keith, Helena Ochoa, and Marina Ramirez, Folklorico Latino de Woodland, a non-profit 503c organization, is devoted to promoting awareness of Mexican culture through dance, music, song, and folklore through performances and by participating in local community events.
We accomplish this through performances of traditional Mexican dances from various regions of Mexico held during the year at both private functions as well as community events throughout Yolo and Sacramento Counties and culminating in our November annual show.
We believe strongly in higher education and as such FLdW offers the Marina Ramirez Youth Scholarship to active FLdW members graduating from high school and choosing to continue their education at a College or University.
