Biography

Guerreo was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.[4] Her parents had migrated from Mexico.[5] Guerrero began learning to dance at five years of age.[5] As a child, she had been punished for speaking Spanish in school.[5] Guerrero's first school was Morehead Elementary School, where she decided she wanted to be an "educator" in third grade.[4] She went to El Paso High School, where she graduated in 1953.[1][6] She later attended the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) on a dance scholarship, graduating in 1957.[1][7] Guerrero was the first in her family to earn both bachelor's and master's degrees.[4] She majored in elementary and high school education for her bachelor's degree and bilingual education for her master's.[1][6]

Guerrero received her first job from the El Paso Independent School District (EPISD) with the help of educator, Hibbard Polk, in the early 1950s.[8] She ended up teaching in El Paso schools for around 20 years,[9] doing most of her teaching at Austin High School.[5] Guerrero created the International Folklorico Dance Group, the first ballet folklorico group in El Paso, in 1970.[10] In 1974, she created a film called Tapestry which describes the way she uses folk dances from around the world to celebrate diversity.[11] The film won a Cine Golden Eagle Award in 1974 and was shown at the New York Film Festival.[12] The International Folklorico Dance Group has appeared on Good Morning America and performed at the Kennedy Arts Center.[5]

She has lectured on the history of dance and performed around the country.[13][14][15][6] Between 1989 and 1994, she was also a part-time lecturer for UTEP.[5] Her talks and dance performances are multicultural in nature so that she can reflect the cultural heritage of many different groups of people.[9] She referred to her dance and history program as "Multicultural Tapestry."[3] Her interpretation of the United States is that it is not a "melting pot," but rather a "multicultural tapestry, a mosaic."[16]

She became the first living educator and the first Hispanic woman in El Paso to have a school named after her in 1993.[6] In 1994 she was inducted into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame.[17][7] Guerrero has also been inducted into the El Paso Women's Hall of Fame.[5] Guerrero has also earned the Ohtli Award from Mexico.[5]

Guerrero retired in 2015.
