Bonus entertainment - Mosaico - a Peruvian folkloric dance group with the purpose of sharing the rich cultural heritage of Peru with American audiences. Their mission is to keep their culture and traditions alive and to create a healthy cultural space for the young generation of Latinas growing up in the USA. Mosaico means “mosaic” which represents the incredible diversity that is Peruvian due to the mosaic of their racial and ethnic roots. This is reflected in Mosaico dancers whom are strong and intelligent Latina women from a variety of Latin American countries with rich life stories and talents. One of the dancers is a University League Scholarship winner!
