(Mexico), Valverde Dance (Peru), Barbary Coast Cloggers (USA), Ballet Pampa
Argentina and Tango del Momento de Pampa Cortés (Argentina).
From the dramatic flair of
flamenco, the flashing legs of the Argentine tango, the playful courtship
dances of Peru, the African roots of Mexico, the bravado of the gauchos, to the
cheerful camaraderie of California miners, the audience will experience a
journey through the fancy footwork of multiple cultures across the Americas.

Inaugural Season, which is funded in part by Grants for the Arts.
