LOS ANGELES Alta Regalado learned to dance traditional Mexican folklórico after her husband passed.
Regalado was 69 years old and it became a hobby that brought her and those around her so much joy.
Now at the age of 101, she is the subject of a new 17 ft. by 30 ft. colorful mural at Pan American Park in east Long Beach. The mural was commissioned by SCAN Health Plan and the Arts Council for Long Beach. Being on the wall that I didn t expect, but here I am said the folklórico dancer. I couldn t believe it.
