The Diaspora World Cup dancers perform during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Diaspora World Cup.
500 Dancers of the South American Cultural Dance performed during the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Diaspora World Cup at the Germantown SoccerPlex Stadium. Hundreds of impressed fans turned the canals of the soccerplex stadium into a sea of multicolor on Saturday April 28, honking vuvuzelas and throwing confetti at the dancers.
Many dances and songs contain elements from both the native and the European cultures. Caporales, Tinkus, Morenada, and Ruphay seem to be the most popular Bolivian dance of present times. In a few decades it developed into an enormous popular dance, not only in the Highlands, where it comes from, but also in the Lowlands and in the Bolivian communities outside the country. Today, the Diaspora World Cup benefited from their expertise.
