¡Viva el Arte de Santa Bárbara! presents Los Angeles-based Grandeza Mexicana in a festive mosaic of Mexico’s regional cultures and dance traditions. The group’s signature meticulous footwork and beautifully-designed costumes reflect the careful research underlying all its performance. Founded by Artistic Director Jose Vences, Grandeza Mexicana’s choreography pays tribute to the traditions and customs of Mexico’s historic past, while honoring the promise of the future. Santa Barbara County performances will feature dances from Michoacan, the Costa Chica of Guerrero State, Zacatecas, Sinaloa, Sonora and Jalisco. Come see why Grandeza has become one of SoCal’s most popular folkloric performance groups in free, family performances!
Co-presented by the Marjorie Luke Theatre, the Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Center and UCSB Arts & Lectures, in partnership with the Isla Vista School After School Grant.
