TOUR: MEXICO 2016
We just finished our amazing six city tour in Mexico! The shows went INCREDIBLY well with whoops, whistles and Standing O's. We are so proud of our BRILLIANT dancers and creative team.
Dancers: Zhenya Cerneacov, Michael Caldwell, Karen Kaeja, Meredith Plumb, Ana Claudette Groppler, Mateo Galindo Torres.
Creative team: Allen Kaeja (co-AD) Oz Weaver (LD) and Shana Hillman (GM). It was such a wonderful tour and an amazing experience.
It was an absolute pleasure and priviledge to be the 1st Ontario company invited to participate in the Red Noroeste de Festivales de Danza en Mexico. We were proud to represent Canada on the international stage, and connect with presenters from across Mexico and the southern United States.
Check out some of the amazing footage below from the tour. It was intense and beautiful filled with welcoming people and wild experiences everywhere.
