Join us for a lively Mexican folklore dance workshop and learn the traditional steps and songs featured in Day of the Dead comparsas (parades).
Led by professional dancer Jessica Ríos, this workshop celebrates the vibrant rhythms and cultural spirit of Mexican folk dance. Jessica holds a Performing Arts degree from Sheridan College and has been performing since the age of eight. She specializes in Mexican folklore, flamenco, tap, and contemporary dance, and has appeared in musicals and cultural festivals across the GTA.
These dances are traditionally performed while going from house to house, making visits to the offerings, or at the cemetery on the Day of the Dead in Mexico. All are welcome!
