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.
