In an ethnography filled with dramatic narratives, Cindy Garc a describes how local salseras\/os gain social status by performing an exoticized L.A.-style salsa that distances them from club practices associated with Mexicanness. Many Latinos in Los Angeles try to avoid \"dancing like a Mexican,\" attempting to rid their dancing of techniques that might suggest that they are migrants, poor, working-class, Mexican, or undocumented.
