El Sueño Features Diverse Dance Groups In Sunday's ARTISTS AT THE CENTER Performance

Artists at the Center, a year-long slate of performances featuring up-and-coming artists to celebrate the recent opening of Climate Pledge Arena, offers unique and varied performances during 2022 at the Seattle Center.

El Sueño presents a combination of four free performances by different dance groups in support of marginalized communities in the Seattle area at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 20 at The Armory. The lineup consists of West African dance group, Gansango Music and Dance, Indian dance group Rangeela Dance Company, Folklorico dance group Bailadores de Bronce, and hip-hop dance group Kontageous Performing Company.

Founder and director Alicia Mullikin curated the string of dance groups which will each share two pieces. The groups will also explain the significance of their dances to provide context and meaning behind their art to the audience.

Seattle Center, the Seattle Office of Arts & Culture, Climate Pledge Arena, Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition, and Seattle Kraken partnered to create Artists at the Center. The program features free pop-up performances on Seattle Center grounds through September 2022. It hosts music, dance, theatre, and multi-disciplinary performances, presented by individual artists and performance groups based in the Puget Sound region.
