This case study examines Mexican-heritage children's learning to dance ballet folklórico. Drawing from an interpretive, ethnographic approach, we argue the practices associated with the dance exist within encompassing domains of meaning that are individually enhancing while also prosocial, encouraging membership to the folklórico group and broader cultural community. These domains are presented as "herencia" (heritage), "familia" (family), and "orgullo" (pride) along with a discussion of how they relate to access and equity in arts learning.
