Join us for a vibrant Día de los niños celebration featuring Ballet Papalotl, one of the Northwest’s premier folkloric dance troupes! Known for their extensive repertoire, Ballet Papalotl showcases traditional dances from across Mexico, complete with authentic choreography and colorful regional attire. This interactive event will not only highlight the beauty of Mexican folkloric dance, but also invite the audience to join in and learn some of the steps! The performance and participation will be presented in both English and Spanish. After the dancing, families are welcome to take home some paper crafts to further celebrate Día de los niños. Don’t miss this joyful celebration of culture, dance, and community!
