Mexican Fiesta Dances:
 Day of the Dead


In Mexico, Fiestas are a form of national recreation celebrating many different aspects of culture and society. This program challenges learners with different dances tying into a focus on the Day of the Dead. During the program, students will learn about and try variations of traditional dances including:

“Dance of Little Old Men” (Los Viejitos); "The Flyers" (Los Voladores); “Hand Waving Dance” (a ritual done in cemeteries and at the ofrenda); and “Skeleton Dance.” Emphasis is placed on how each dance/activity embodies a specific message or concept inherent to the Fiesta.
