The Vertigo Dance Company of Jerusalem is doing a Latin American performance tour from October 7 through November 5, presenting Noa Wertheim’s “White Noise” in Mexico, Panama, Peru and Colombia.

The dance company also was supposed to perform in Nicaragua, but due to anti-government riots going on there, that stop was canceled for safety reasons. The dancers will instead use that time to extend their stays in Mexico and Panama, where they will give dance lessons to children of the Jewish communities, as well as student dancers and young dancers.

The tour was made possible with the assistance of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Jerusalem and Heritage Affairs in celebration of the 70th anniversary of Israeli independence.
