Dance contest winners to the beat of marinera


On Sunday, 30th of January, our student Pamela Sotomayor successfully participated in the 51º National Marinera Contest organized by the Club Libertad in Trujillo.

This traditional event took place in the bullring of this city. Children, adolescents, young people, adults, and old people, including those with different abilities participated in it. Participants holding handkerchiefs above their heads showed creativity and elegance in this beautiful national dance, receiving prolonged applauses from audience who brimmed over with enthusiasm.

Jose Mendoza and Pamela Sotomayor (CASP student), the couple numbered 243, won in the “De la Unidad” category of the national contest. They were the great winners among the eight couples that reached the final, out of a total of 23 dancers.

Congratulations guys!
