VIVA LA DANZA 2025

The Mexican Dance Ensemble of Vancouver proudly presents the third annual VIVA LA DANZA, taking place on Saturday, December 6, 2025, in the Faris Family Studio at The Dance Centre. This year’s edition offers an intimate and revitalized experience, featuring live music, vibrant costumes, and rarely performed traditional Mexican dances—all thoughtfully curated by choreographer and Ensemble founder Lourdes Ruiz.

More than a performance, VIVA LA DANZA is a celebration of cultural identity, artistry, and the close-knit community that has blossomed around the Ensemble over the past decade. “Behind every step onstage is months of hard work, passion, and deep connection,” says Ruiz. “We’re not just preserving tradition—we’re building family.”

To create an immersive and personal atmosphere, this year’s event is set in the Faris Family Studio, where extremely limited seating offers audiences a rare, up-close encounter with the power and beauty of Mexican folk dance.

Evening Highlights:

• Premiere performances of dances never before seen in Vancouver, representing diverse regions of Mexico

• Live music performed by  Naty Cerecedo and Mariachi Los Dorados 

• A heartfelt and intimate closing to the Ensemble’s year of artistic growth, dedication, and cultural connection

Whether you’re a long-time supporter or discovering Mexican dance for the first time, VIVA LA DANZA invites everyone to experience culture through movement, music, and community.
