D1 to Visit Pachamama Arts Center, 3/18

D1 has cast the lead dancer for the production - DARIO VACCARO. Dario received the title of Cultural Ambassador of Cosquin after winning the gold medal at the Latin American Dance Tournament (ALAD) in Brazil and Argentina. Dario began his professional career as a member of Julio Boccas Ballet Argentino. Then, in 2002, he moved to New York to join Twyla Tharp Dance where he participated in the creation of new works by Ms. Tharp, and performed them with her company throughout the United States and Europe. Dario is currently choreographing and dancing in Projected, a multi-media dance collaboration with photographer Lois Greenfield.
