The 2022 International Music and Dance Festival has returned to New Rochelle after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic

The festival featured children and adults from the Mexican Dance workshop.

The workshop was led by Calpulli Mexican Dance Troupe professionals.

The festival was hosted by New Rochelle Public Library and New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District.

"We have not only people from Mexico, we have you know, people from Guatemala, people who were born here in America, but they have the interest to learn a new dance, to learn a new culture," says Maria Hernandez, one of the dancers and a New Rochelle Public Library assistant.
