...Latin dance group from Boston University called Fuego, will also be performing as part of the show’s effort to reach out to the community in Boston at large. “It kind of plugs in parts of Latino culture that we can’t exhibit through our own students here,” Rosa says. “There are 21-plus cultures, and though our Latino culture and presence is growing at Harvard, it is still small.”Director Marissa C.
