Somos Colombia at Kelowna Culture Days 2021

Dance Performances from Somos Colombia at Mary Irwin Theatre


Somos Colombia Dance Group Kelowna is a group of all age dancers from the local Latin-American community. Ranging from 9 to 80 years old, their members inlcude children, K-12 and post secondary students, housewives and working professionals, as well as other community members. The group formed in December of 2018 with the goal of engaging in ongoing learning of Colombian folklore and culture through the medium of dance, and sharing those cultural traditions with the broader Okanagan community by participating in dance performances and other community events.

The dance group continues to support artisans from their native Colombia by dressing in traditional dresses and accessories made in Colombia by local artisans.

Their dance performances, along with the narrations around the cultural origin stories behind them, were mixed with those of the Okanagan Mexican Folklore Dance Group in the Mary Irwin Theatre inside the Rotary Centre for the Arts.
