There’s no need to travel far to witness exotic dance numbers. Santa Monica College presents the international dance company Folklorico, which will perform dances from Spain, Indonesia, Brazil, the Middle East, as well as salsa, Mexican folklorico, Aztec, American jazz and lyrical jazz.
“All of the performed dances are kept in their authentic forms,” Folklorico de SMC co-artistic director and dance professor Judith Douglas said. “They preserve particular world cultures as well as educate our students and audiences of their beauty and legitimacy.”
The performances are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 21, at 2 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 22, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 23, at 7 p.m. at the Morgan-Wixson Theatre, 2627 Pico Blvd. Folklorico has toured and performed throughout Mexico and California for more than 15 years. Call (310) 434-3000 for tickets, which cost $15. Ace in the hole: Battling breast cancer on tennis court
