Who We Are?
Our HISTORY
Founded in February of 1997, we are a group of Ecuadorian and Canadian-Ecuadorian individuals who have come together with the objective of practicing and performing traditional Ecuadorian dance, some members bringing their past experience with other dance troupes to Nueva Siembra.
We are the only Ecuadorian group in Toronto that strives to mix theatre and dance when presenting the history and the reality of the diverse people of Ecuador: the Indigenous, the Afro-Ecuadorian, the Montubio and the Mestizo. After extensive study and investigation, our dances are choreographed to display the traditions, customs and lifestyles of the people in order to preserve and present the pride of our ancestors from our homeland.
We perform dances from the central and northern region of the Andes as well as the traditional dances from the Ecuadorian coast.
