| Description: |
Rosa Guerrero, a native El Pasoan, discusses the role of Mexican-American culture (particularly music and dance) in her life. She explains that dance provides a medium through which different people and different cultures may better understand each other. She discusses her belief that children can learn language through movement and talks about her experiences teaching in the public schools during the 1960s and 1970s as well as her work with children in bilingual classes and folkloric dance classes in the 1980s and 1990s. She also discusses her videos Tapestry and Tapestry II. In recognition of her work, a school in El Paso bears her name.
