Local residents will have three exciting opportunities in November to enjoy dance and music at Saint Mary's College.
The Davalos Dance Company on Nov. 13 at 8 p.m. will perform "Chocolate," an exploration of the sacred cacao bean. The free dance performance uses Mayan and Aztec creation stories to uncover the origins of chocolate and the healing energy of it. The event will begin with a ritual on the LeFevre Terrace and then move inside for more dancing prior to an outdoor dance party at the end of the evening. RSVP to cdavalos@stmarys-ca.edu
