| PERFORMANCE AT THE RAMSTIEN COMMISSARY ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 |
| Micheal, Ashley, Roberto, Nancy performing Los Viejitos. This dance has a long history to it's name. It is performed to honor the older generations. The cane represents the tools used in the fields by the workers, the children walk around slightly bent over symbolizing the placing of seeds in the ground then they stomp the dirt over them to ensure proper growth. The mask itself reminds us of the wisdom which all of our ancestors; both recent and long past, hold. |
| Here is Joanna and Rebecca dancing Cascabel. The literal translation is snake rattle. This dance is from the state of Veracruz. |
| To the left is Michelle and to the right is Sonia, both of which are dancing Las Alazanas. This dance commerates the women who followed thier husbands out to war. They too took up arms and defended thier right to freedom from oppresion and injustices. This dance is from the state of Jalisco. The colorful dress and upbeat music is what makes Mexican Folklore Dance popular throughout the world. |
| No performance would be as enjoyable if we wouldn't have some audience participation. To the left Ashley front and Michelle rear preparing to show our audience how to dance Las Alazanas. Each of our dancers pick one person from the audience to participate and enjoy in thier rich culture. That's what you can see to the right. |
