Current and future students served by Save Our Youth, a Costa Mesa-based nonprofit, took their folklorico, hip-hop and break dancing chops to the Heritage Stage at the Orange County Fair on Wednesday.

The organization presented seven acts, including singing and Zumba routines.

The Save Our Youth Center was created in 1993 to provide low-income youths with mentoring, tutoring and help with preparation for college.
