About VIVA LA DANZA
VIVA LA DANZA is more than a performance — it’s a vibrant celebration of culture, connection, and community. Now in its third year, this annual event brings the spirit of Mexico to life on the Vancouver stage with dynamic dance, live music, and heartfelt storytelling.
Behind every movement lies not only tradition but passion, discipline, friendship, and the community we’ve built together. Under the artistic direction of choreographer Lourdes Ruiz, each piece has been carefully crafted, featuring rare dances never before seen in Vancouver. This is not your classic Mexican dance show — it’s a bold, original expression of heritage and creativity.
This year’s show is set in the Faris Family Studio to create a more immersive and personal atmosphere. Seating is extremely limited, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the power and beauty of Mexican folk dance up close.
Evening highlights are exceptional:
- Experience captivating new dances celebrating Mexico’s rich culture in Vancouver, along with lively music from guest artists.
- Don’t miss Naty Cerecedo’s special performance.
- Join us for an intimate celebration of the ensemble’s growth and cultural connection.
- VIVA LA DANZA invites everyone to celebrate culture through movement, music, and community.
