Learning about Peruvian dance at Penn

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, scholars at Penn enjoyed watching La Marinera Norteňa, a traditional Peruvian partner dance that reenacts a courtship and is often performed with handkerchiefs and filled with playful, romantic movements. Two talented performers, Prescila (15) and Matthew (13), who have been dancing for 8 years and who compete in worldwide competitions, shared this beautiful and graceful dance with our students.
