Atotonilco at the Library - 30 Sep 2007

This was a lecture and demonstration. I did enjoy this. We were taken on a geographic and cultural tour of Mexico, state by state and dance by dance combining a talk given by John Paul Chaurand with PowerPoint slides and dances, each requiring full costume changes. I took pleasure in learning new information and getting a show to boot. I don't know how many showed up but the room was pretty well filled. At the end everyone got into the act as they were invited to the front to do the Mexican hat dance.

Yep, that's polka!
