The diverse program includes Italy's tarantella, France's can-can, Spain's flamenco and paso-doble, Mexico's traditional, Cuba's salsa and cha-cha, Argentina's tango, Brazil's samba and the United States' swing and hip-hop. PCC student dancers showcase a semester's worth of dance techniques such as ballet, modern, and jazz; choreographed by PCC faculty Aurora Gon?alves-Shaner,Claire Hancock, Colleen Beaman and Kim Hennes. In addition to the resident choreographers the performance includes works from the University of Arizona's School of Dance, Ballet Folklorico Arizona, and Viva Arizona Dance Company.
