Mr. Lopez is one of the founding members of “La Escuelita,” a small group of Chicano and
Chicana artists in Northern New Mexico established in 1975.
“Being a santero is a calling, a blessing from God. For me it serves to center my life and my
spirituality. Carving is almost like breathing. If I don’t do it every day, something is missing.”

The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create a one-of-a-kind fitness program that makes working out fun. Students will experience interval
training sessions, as fast and slow rhythms are combined with resistance training to tone and sculpt the body while burning fat.
Instructors Anita and Rosa are key team members of Arte Sin Fronteras and currently instruct the tumbling and folklórico classes at Northern’s Continuing Education Department.
