Join us in the Story Corner to learn more about Ecuadorian culture! Hear stories, sing songs, and have some colorful fun. We will read a story together and make a craft related to Ecuadorian culture!
Afterwards, come down to the Plaza to watch a performance by Pureqkuna, an Ecuadorian Folkloric Dance Group. Pureqkuna was created in 1998 by Marco Chavez with the aim of sharing the beauty of Ecuadorian culture through folkloric dance. Pureqkuna comes from the Quechua word that means “walkers”. The group “walks and collects the cultural wealth of Ecuador.” Pureqkuna was the first folkloric group in the city of Danbury. It is currently composed of young Ecuadorians from different parts of the country, who with their different choreographies seek to rescue and keep their values, customs and traditions alive.
