Bolivia Corazon de America

"Bolivia Corazon de America presents dances from the Bolivian Andes, once the center of Bolivia's most important pre-Columbian civilization. Here, high in the rugged cordilleras, indigenous Aymara and Quechua people have celebrated dance and music traditions for 5,000 years. Today, 50% of Bolivia’s population are descendents of these civilizations.

Bolivia Corazon de America was formed in 2000 to give Bolivian-American children an opportunity to dance and perform music of their heritage. Today the company includes young people of all backgrounds, and its goal is to showcase the traditional dances of Bolivia. This award-winning company has performed for seven years at Carnaval San Francisco, as well as at the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival and in China.
