Performance and Workshop: Calpulli Mexican Dance Company

Join Calpulli Mexican Dance Company for this fully interactive program, audiences learn simplified movements and choreographies of several Mexican dances from a teaching artist. Audiences can wear hats from the little old men (a four-century old indigenous dance), move flowing skirts from Jalisco (set to Mariachi music), fan handkerchiefs from Guerrero (reminiscent of its South American influence), and dance around the sombrero in the world famous (El jarabe tapatio) Mexican hat dance. A caring teaching artist describes the history and background of all dances for audiences to have a deeper understanding of Mexican culture.
