CICA’s main objective is to provide a well-rounded, on-going cultural and social-emotional learning development program through cultural arts including Mexican folkloric dance and music. Programming is accomplished through rigorous artistic and personal self-discipline and adheres to the fulfillment of each participant’s set of artistic, academic, social and future career goals.
