Calpulli Mexican Dance Company at Caltech Oct. 2

Calpulli Mexican Dance Company to Perform at Caltech

Calpulli Mexican Dance Company will perform on Saturday, October 2, at 8 p.m. in Caltech’s Beckman Auditorium.

Outfitted in traditional dress, Calpulli presents the regional dances of Mexico. Most noted for their interpretations of traditional Aztec dances, Calpulli also exhibits the dances from the states of Jalisco, Michoacan, Puebla, and Veracruz. Dances from these regions are often performed to commemorate historic events and special occasions like Cinco de Mayo, Day of the Dead, and Mexican Independence Day. Calpulli is a Native American word referring to the groups or clans categorized by trade, which contributed to the whole of the Aztec civilization.

Tickets to this performance are priced at $26.00, $21.00, and $16.00; youth (high school age and younger): $10.00. Senior rush tickets will go on sale for $10.00, beginning one-half hour before the performance (subject to availability). Tickets can be purchased at the Caltech Ticket Office, 332 S.
