With Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, the costumes, music and choreography express the history and the great social, religious, and artistic traditions of various regions of Mexico.
The company features many dance styles in reflecting the lifestyles of the regions. Some of the styles include danza, a popular ballroom dance genre somewhat similar to the waltz; polka, flamenco, The Fans, The Coco song, The Bamba, The Woodpecker Bird, The Weeper, The Moor, and more.
The Ballet Folklorico de México has presented more than 100 international tours in over 80 countries for a total of over 15,000 performances.

EOS for a Fall lunch hour...
EOS started as an idea, a vision of how a contemporary Greek restaurant should look, taste and feel. Clean lines and simple architecture mixed with accents of blue to mimic the still waters of the Mediterranean. The cuisine echoes our passion for the flavors and aromas we enjoy now and lovingly remember growing up. Undiminished freshness and simplicity is our goal, paired with a cool, relaxed atmosphere to provide an authentic Greek experience.

So good. Great sauce.
Great salad.

In the news...Charles Fazzino Adds Artistic Stamp to Stamford Lightbox | Fazzino
Charles Fazzino Adds Artistic Stamp to Stamford Lightbox | Fazzino
On the heels of his involvement with “Horsin’ Around Downtown,” the Stamford Downtown organization commissioned Charles Fazzino to further brighten up the landscape by painting one of the main lightboxes on the streets of Stamford, CT. Over the course of several weeks, Fazzino turned what was previously a five-foot-tall eyesore to local business owners into a beautiful piece of public sculpture. Choosing the theme of “shop downtown,” Fazzino turned the lightbox into an oversized shopping bag, bursting with vibrant colors and exciting detail. You can see the Fazzino-painted lightbox for yourself at 20 Summer St. in Stamford, CT.
“It was gratifying to be able to take a sterile, rather unsightly object and transform it into a beautiful piece of artwork while still maintaining it’s usefulness. It still functions as a lightbox, but now people enjoy looking at it and it conveys the message that Stamford is a shopping, dining, and recreating mecca. I’m proud to have been asked to do it,” Said Charles Fazzino
