Roots is a Peruvian folk dance group founded in New Westminster in 2017 under the direction of Jessica Roca Muncaster with the mission to present and diffuse the rich diversity of art from Peruvian cultures into the communities of British Columbia. The beauty, colour, and excitement of traditional Peruvian dances are displayed in our repertoire, which includes dances from the three regions of Peru: Coastal, Andean, and the Amazon. We have performed in a number of international festivals since 2018, such as Carnaval del Sol, Richmond World Festival, Surrey Fusion Festival, ScotFest, Langley RibFest and Surrey Latin Festival as well, Roots performed at smaller venues like Kitsilano Show Boat. Our audiences love the combination of music, costumes, and folklore that are presented during our performances, and get people on their feet for our final dance
