Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts

This is definitely a neighborhood institution in the Mission that’s been promoting local culture for almost 40 years. They host and arrange all different types of Latin classes, including things like dance, guitar, and Brazilian percussion. They also have a gallery, a huge mural, and a small theater which all together serve as a community hub of art and culture. On Tuesday nights from 8:00 to 9:00, I dance here at an event called Fogo Na Roupa. Anybody can come, and anyone is welcome to grab shekeres, bongos, or agogo bells and feel what it's like to be a part of this community.
