Calpulli Mexican Dance Company
Calpulli Mexican Dance Company began its artistic journey in 2003, growing from of a love for its community and Mexican traditions. In the process, the company rediscovered and affirmed the power of storytelling through the universal language of dance and music.
Calpulli tells narrative-based stories portrayed through movement, sound, and elaborate and colorful costuming, with the passion of performance. Their repertoire is a carnival of folkloric traditions mixed with original creations. Calpulli performances are a celebration of the cultural legacy of past and present with stories that combine the vocabulary of dance and music with the Mexican-American spirit, expressing the company’s universal messages of love and hope.
Co-Founders Alberto Lopez Herrera (former Artistic Director) and Juan Castaño (Executive Director) conceive and create stories that come to life through the vision of Artistic Director Grisel Pren Monje.
Calpulli tours a portfolio of stories that share an enlightened perception of the voyage of immigrants and Mexican-Americans. With a contemporary voice, they seek to highlight and celebrate history and the shared humanity of our experience.
The Company tours across the USA and made its international debut in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 2013 and its European debut in Istanbul, Turkey in 2019.
