Caleidoscopio Latino heats up National Theater

Dancers perform “Creole Swing” for a full house at the National Theater on Tuesday afternoon. Part of the theater’s ongoing noontime performing arts series, Caleidoscopio Latino celebrates the mix of North American Swing and Latin dance that became popular in Costa Rica’s banana plantations in the 1950s. Caleidoscopio Latino showcased the fast-moving choreography of younger and older performers, drawing a sold-out crowd. (Alberto Font/The Tico Times)
