Folklórico con orgullo en el Pacific Northwest.
Danza Monarcas celebrates and reimagines folklórico traditions through a LGBTQIA2+ lens.
We are fostering a safe creative space to strengthen connections to heritage and performance art in the Pacific Northwest.
About Us
Danza Monarcas began in 2018 by Carlos Alaniz and a few folklórico friends. Huddled together in a Seattle apartment lobby, they modified the movements, costuming, and stories of familiar dances to better reflect the people they had become.
We have grown in size, scope, and expression over the years, but our vision remains the same – to reimagine folklórico traditions with and for our LGBTQIA2+ community.
Dance with us!
Danza Monarcas is open to dancers of all skill levels. Practices are typically held on Mondays, 6:30PM at Joyas Mestizas Studio in Burien. Rehearsals may be less frequent from December to April.
