Did you know that within the Amazonian,  Andean and coastal regions of Peru there are more than 200 distinct ethnic groups and cultures?

The Peruvian Dancers will present an eclectic repertory from eight diverse natural regions of Peru this Saturday at 11 a.m. as part of our World On Stage series.

They will be performing with six live musicians! The dances include:

• Huaylarsh, a vigorous dance for young people to flirt, play and liberate themselves, for a couple of weeks, of the responsibilities of the daily work.
• Caporales is an Andean dance with strong African roots from the Yungas, Afro-Bolivian descendents of African slaves who arrived during colonial times.
• Turcos de Cailloma is danced to thank the "pachamama" (mother earth) for the success of the harvest. This religious dance also has satirical connotations.
