The Peruvian Dance School, Kausachun Peru, whose Quechuan name means “Long Live Peru!” was registered with the Utah Dept. of Commerce on May 22, 2002. This organization began with two people, and has grown into a folk art institution made up of Peruvians, many of whom have ample experience and skill in the Peruvian folk arts, and who are the teachers and choreographers of this institution. The prime objectives of Kausachun Peru are: - To redeem and to make known the art of Peru by way of the dances of Peru’s three regions (coast, mountain, and jungle), and the unmistakable beauty of our costumes, all of which are made in Peru, and hand embroidered.
- To motivate our children and youth to take interest in their roots, and their rich heritage, to occupy them with positive activities, and avoid the loss of our traditions in the future generation.
- To present a positive image of Hispanics and contribute our part to that culture.
We also wish to keep alive our customs by holding brief classes on the Quechuan language, the Peruvian history, our myths and legends. Soon we hope to bring together a small library, stocked with Peruvian literature, history, etc. that will enable us to remember what is ours. We call this place, located in West Valley, the Peruvian corner. We are friends, we help each other and encourage each other when we are together to reach a stage where we can freely express ourselves, bringing this stage with us wherever we are invited or engaged to perform. If you desire to contact or obtain further information, please call us at (801)982-9516, or email us at
