    I went with my family to this show while visiting Ecuador. First of all, the location where my show was held is intimate - it is located under the old Plaza de Toros around San Blas in Quito. The reception area is essentially a gallery of all sort of art and fashion from the Ecuadorian culture here. The show itself is amazing, very colorful. The music is lovely, the dancers are decked to the nines with Ecuadorian authentic fashion from long ago. Dances are from different areas and represent different aspects of life. I learned quite a bit about my own culture that I had not learned when i lived here, and go to do a little dancing to top it all!

    We arrived a little too early. They didn't let us in, so we waited outside. We didn’t know what to expect. We were blown away by the music, dancing, extravagant costumes and costume changes while performing. I highly recommend this show to anyone visiting Quito.

    Dancers were very good but at the start and end of show an elderly man talked in Spanish at length, particularly at the end. There was no translated handout available. I think he was telling his life stories because he was very emotional . He spoilt the atmosphere created by the last dance, a wonderful Maypole dance. Venue hard to find. Taxi drivers didn’t know.

    We hunted for a "ballet folklorique" and found the Jacchigua website. Ignore it - it doesn't work well. Instead, pick Wednesday or Friday and go early to the Centro de Convenciones Eugenio Espejo, The show starts at 7:15, so 6:45 will get you good seats. Walk the slippery walkway to the open doorway, go in and pay your $40 and snag a front row seat. The theatre is (too) small and the seating is flat so it's hard to see from the back. THE SHOW IS SPECTACULAR - the sounds, the colours, the choreography, the energy of the dancers... it is not to be missed! The founder of the dance troupe talked a very long time in Spanish and while we are sure whatever was said was worthwhile, we didn't get a single word as we don't speak Spanish.WE get it- it is important to maintain the indigenous heritage - but the talk was too long. English translation would be welcome as most of the audience spoke English. The performance itself was varied, moved well, the dancers were well-trained, the accompanying live music was super. My only problem with it was the stage - the performance was too big for it: there are some HUGE costumes and they kept touching the ceiling. Withe the large number of dancers on the stage, they had to work the edges, and came a little too close for comfort. This is such a fabulous dance company, that they deserve a better theatre and way more publicity.... and probably a website upgrade for better marketing. The $40 is a cheap price for this world class performance.
