The show will be similar to that of a visual fairytale with vivid characters in lavishly colorful costumes flowing from one folk dance to the next in a single choreographic symphony. Corazon de Mexico dances are crafted like a large choreographic canvas featuring many episodes and contrasting rhythms. While paying tribute to their remote homeland, this is no mere presentation of peasant dance as it infuses village ritual with modern technique.

The resulting performance showcases tradition through the eyes of skillful choreographers and a host of disciplined artist.
