¡Viva la Cultura! A Celebration of South America's Vibrant Heritage
Join us for a captivating journey through the heart of South America as we explore the rich cultures, traditions, and rhythms of Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela. The event will open with an educational experience provided by Breccia Performing Company, highlighting the unique customs, dances, and histories of each region—giving you a deeper appreciation for the diverse tapestry of South American culture.
The celebration continues with performances by Raizetna and En Fuego, two dynamic dance groups united by a shared passion for movement, music, and community. All performances will be choreographed and performed by talented local instructors, whose deep cultural roots and artistic vision bring authenticity and energy to the stage. Their mission is simple: to inspire, uplift, and prove that anyone can dance!
Get ready to be moved by the vibrant rhythms of salsa, bachata, cumbia, and the high-energy murga—each performance a celebration of identity and joy. But don’t just watch—we invite YOU to join the fun! There will be live dance demonstrations where you can step in, move your feet, and feel the rhythm for yourself.
Come celebrate, connect, and dance with us—because culture comes alive when we share it together.
This is an interactive event that people of ALL ages can enjoy!
