Artist Exchange
Conceived in 2009, the Artist Exchange program supports worthy dancers, directors, and choreographers in both California and in México by facilitating a bilateral educational exchange. The recipients residing in México have come to the Bay Area to study and to share their craft. The recipients residing in the USA have gone to México to study and perfect their craft.
If you are interested in initiating, sponsoring, or co-sponsoring an artist exchange with CCL, please contact us.

Exchanges and Artist Residencies Over the Years
These immersive exchanges require travel, research time, artist honoraria, documentation, and community engagement resources. If you believe in: authentic cultural representation, preserving living traditions, empowering Mexican-American youth through direct cultural experience, and honoring tradition bearers with dignity, we invite you to support this work.
Visiting Tradition Bearers & Guest Artists
Our exchange program is reciprocal. We welcome master artists to San José to work directly with our dancers and community.
Through workshops, rehearsals, lectures, and dialogue, these artists ground our work in lived experience and regional authenticity.
Recent visiting artists include:
