Description:

The dancer photographed was captured during a fiesta celebration in the old square of Santa Fe. The women wear colorful, double-circle skirts embellished with ribbons. The dancing from this region consist of flourishing arm movements, and loud, intricate stomping. This is traditionally a courtship ritual, and the women flirtingly dance away from the men while the men try to impress them with their footwork. In the end, the female is won over by the men's attentiveness.

Folk dancing is one of the most eye-catching international dance forms around. With a stunning display of colors and upbeat musical accompaniment, folk dancing south of the border signifies a good time.

Like many foreign dance styles, Mexican folk dance has been shaped and influenced by Mexico's history, including the Mexican Revolution and the Spanish Colonial Period. Several cultural backgrounds are represented in any given folk dance performance in Mexico, and knowing the history can give you a better understanding of the various influences.

Folk dancing in Mexico has always been rooted in celebration, be it a party, a religious ceremony, or a festival. Dance has always been for the purpose of honoring the country's unique heritage, while also recognizing both the joy and hard times of the Mexican life. Folk dance's origins in Mexico are found in Mesoamerican times, in which natives performed dances to appeal to the Mayan and Aztec gods. Later on, when the Spanish arrived during the 16th century, European dances like court dancing and polka were infused with the indigenous choreography.
