Grupo Folklórico Los Laureles

The Los Laureles Academy gives children the opportunity to learn about Mexico's traditions through dance, develop self-confidence, and have fun! We offer monthly classes for kids as well as for Teens and Adults.

Grupo Folklorico Los Laureles of Silicon Valley, CA was founded in the summer of 2007 by Cesar Gonzalez and Ashley Lopez-Gonzalez. Los Laureles began as a small group of family members coming together to learn traditional Mexican dances. In the winter of 2007 MACLA (Moviemento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana) opened their doors and became 'home' to Los Laureles. In the past nine years, Laureles has expanded to 7 classes ranging from 4 and up. They have performed for parades, private parties, NFL's The Oakland Raiders, MLB's The San Francisco Giants, HP, google, Danzantes Unidos, Garlic Festival, The Santa Clara Fair, and many more venues. Laureles is proud to produce 2 formal recitals every year showcasing the Bay Area's talent and love for the Mexican culture.
