Featured Performers
Canvas Dance
Canvas Dance is a dance group from El Paso Community College (EPCC) at Valle Verde. Performing members include Jose Orono and Crystal Gonzalez, along with guest performer Junior Jacquez–-two students and a graduate (Jacquez) of the EPCC at Valle Verde’s dance program. They will be performing a modern contemporary dance piece portraying a love triangle centered on a young woman. But, the romance doesn’t turn out quite as well as she would have hoped.
Human Nature Contemporary Ballet
Human Nature Contemporary Ballet (HNCB) is a local dance company from El Paso, TX, founded by Rafael Chavez and Jose Barraza. HNCB uses dance as a way of self expression with Ballet forming the foundation for our movement. We push to show the humanity behind the art and remove the mystique placed on dance. Our goal is for our audience to see the dancers as people, not as the ethereal beings often portrayed in classical ballet. Dance is something that transcends language and connects us not only as people but as humans.
Mesilla Valley Dance Eclectic
Mesilla Valley Dance Eclectic will be showcasing a number of pieces from their repertoire, as well as debuting new choreography by Sara Jackiewicz and Morgan Rivera. They will also be presenting a preview of their upcoming February 2018 show.
