The Calpulli Mexican Dance Company's annual holiday show, “Navidad,” is back, featuring a variety of dance and live music: ballet, folklórico, and a Rockettes-style number. It may be the only Christmas show in town with mariachi and Tchaikovsky.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2022.Growing up in El Paso, Texas, Juan Castaño never thought he’d run a dance company in New York City. He never even thought he’d study dance.
Castaño was willing to help, and was soon hooked on the art form. He went on to major in chemistry, but never stopped dancing. It’s also really fun to dance in, says Castaño, who is part of this year’s ensemble. “You do it all,” he said. “Navidad” was written by Castaño and Lopez Herrera in 2016, and workshopped at the Thalia Spanish Theatre in Sunnyside, Queens. Much of the story is inspired by their lives. Elements of the Mexican traditions and celebrations in the show are pulled from Lopez Herrera’s childhood.
“Sometimes it does get kind of hard to embrace both cultures at the same time,” she said. “You have to sort of blend both together.”
