Rooted in dance

Minetsa Cotto Ortiz shares her journey as a dancer and the lessons learned as co-chair of the Latinx Raices Dance Troupe.

Raices Dance Troupe started as a way to spread diversity and the Latin community at Syracuse University through music and dance and is the only Latinx dance group on campus.

The word RAÍCES is a Spanish word for “roots,” chosen to express and create an appreciation of Latin roots and past.
