Luis Garcia Barnett dances "Marinera Limena" a Peruvian folk dance

Marinera in general is a graceful and romantic couple's dance that uses handkerchiefs as props. The dance is an elegant and stylized reenactment of a courtship, and it shows a blend of the different cultures of Peru

The following video features Marinera Limena, elegant and a little slow-paced in comparison to other variations of Marinera. The dance can be interpreted in low or high tones.

The Marinera Limena is a blend of Spanish, Moorish, Andean, and Gypsy rhythm influences, and one of the most popular traditional dances of the Peruvian coast, although nowadays it seems to have became overshadowed by the Marinera Norteña, because of its popular qualities.

Luis Garcia Barnett disseminates the Peruvian folklore by performing in public around the Bay Area. The following presentation took place September 18, 2011 in Redwood City, California.
