Mezclada Dance Company

Mezclada Dance Company celebrates diversity by blending cultures and dance styles into dynamic, original, and universally relatable performances. Mezclada is rooted in Hip Hop and modern dance alongside Latin music. The company presents evening-length concerts, educational performances, and workshops/residencies from local to international audiences. Mezclada's repertoire include full-length works: Mind, Body, and Soul, a Hip Hop–focused concert inspired by Breakdancing in the Olympics featuring an Olympian and Team USA coach; and Presente! A Spanglish Story, a celebration of Latin communities and their essential contributions to the countries' cultural fabric. Educational offerings range from modified concert experiences to series of shows, including Each One Teach One, which highlights foundational Hip Hop styles such as breaking, popping, and locking; and Percussive Movement, which explores the relationship between dance and percussion across styles including salsa, funk, jazz, and fusion. The company also provides masterclasses and teaching residencies for K–12 and college/university students. Mezclada collaborates on adaptable productions with orchestras, symphonies, and musical artists, with flexible performance length (30 - 90 minutes) and ensemble size (5 to 12 dancers) tailored to a variety of venues and audiences.
