Ayazamana was founded in 1992 by Jose Rivera. Mr. Rivera was born in Quito, Ecuador and began to dance at the age of fifteen with Virginia Rosero, a well known Ecuadorian choreographer and dancer. Being a part of Ms. Rosero’s folkloric dance group allowed him to learn the fundamentals of Ecuadorian traditional dance and to perform on various stages throughout Ecuador and abroad.
The Ayazamana Dance Group, directed by Jose Rivera, performs traditional dances from different regions of Ecuador. The fundamental goal of the Ayazamana Dance Group is to allow the community to have greater access to Ecuadorian culture through dance so they can appreciate the richness and diversity that exists in Ecuador.
