Celebrate Latin American Heritage at the MC's Latine First Friday
The Multicultural Center warmly invites you to Latine First Friday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Friday, Sept. 6, at the plaza outside the MC at the Garland Center. In anticipation of Hispanic Heritage Month on Sept. 15, the campus community will come together through dance, food and fellowship.
Claudia Aguilar of En Fuego Dance & Fitness is this Friday's invited dance instructor. She will guide attendees through bachata, salsa and merengue lessons that are engaging for both beginner and experienced dancers. Catering will be provided by Na'Guara and La Sirenita. Join in on the fun and be on the lookout for more Latine/Hispanic Heritage Month events, which will be posted to the MC's Instagram.
We encourage folks to beat the crowds and register on Hogsync before the event. Register on Hogsync here.
