Dance brings people together, and a TCU student is trying to share part of her Hispanic heritage with others through the art of dance.
"I believe I started around the age of five or six years," Rodriguez said."When I initially started Ballet Folklorico I didn't really understand necessarily what I was doing.""There's something about Ballet Folklorico," Rodriguez said."That really caught my attention. Like, I dance through the heart, if that makes sense."
Rodriguez, a TCU sophomore, has danced at TCU tailgates, at a baseball Cinco de Mayo game, and a volleyball game for Hispanic Heritage Day. "That was heartwarming because when I first started, not that I didn't believe in myself, but I didn't believe how far I would get," Rodriguez said."It's very beautiful not just to share the culture within, like, my heritage, but it's also very amazing to share to people that don't know what Ballet Folklorico is," Rodriguez said.
