FREE EVENT- Pacifico Dance Company

Sixteen highly-trained dancers in brilliant costumes will take the stage in a performance that incorporates folklore, religion and current themes to further the appreciation and understanding of the culture of present day Mexico. Artistic Director Adriana Astorga-Gainey studied folklorico with the legendary Amalia Hernandez in Mexico City and her important, historical choreography is a part of each program. Since founding Pacifico Dance Company in 1992, she has led the dancers in tours of the U.S., Mexico and Asia to rave reviews. In the words of LA Times dance critic Lewis Segal, “Gainey [has] joined the second generation of U.S. folkloric choreographers, developing her own perspective on Mexican culture and giving her company its own artistic identity.”
