With singular success and with the presence of a large audience, the presentation of the Peruvian Folk Dance Center was held on Friday, October 1, in the activities program by the "Celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month” by the Aurora Public Library from September 15 to October 15.

On this occasion, the attendees could enjoy traditional dances from south and center of Peru, started with the ancestral national dance of Peru, the Huayno “Valicha from Cusco”, then the Marinera Puneña with Huayñu and then on a trip to the jungle and central of Peru with the warrior dance Shapish of Chupaca from Junin.
