T’is the season to be amazed. On April 25th, the Calpulli Mexican Dance Company will open a four-weekend run of México en Primavera at the Thalía Spanish Theatre in Sunnyside. Twelve dancers and various musicians will pay tribute to the joys and soul of Mexico with a program capturing Spring’s color, vivaciousness, and feeling of newness.
