Peruvian Rhythms at Juniper Riverslea

The sound of Peruvian music filled the air at Juniper Riverslea during a recent visit by the Wayra Peruvian Rhythms group.

Talented performers from the group received lots of rousing applause from residents and staff during the 75-minute show.

As well as clapping, dancing, and tapping along to the infectious beats, residents received fascinating insights into Peruvian culture from group members.

The visit came about following a suggestion from a Juniper Riverslea resident who was interested to enjoy a Latin dance performance that celebrated her own background.

After the show, the performers chatted with residents and staff and posed for photos.

A non-profit organisation, Wayra Peruvian Rhythms formed recently to share its love of Peruvian folk dancing and the richness of Peruvian culture with Australia.
