As part of the museum's “Weekend Wonder” series, Calpulli Mexican Dance Company will present lively Mexican Dance Workshops. In this fully interactive program, participants learn simplified movements and choreographies in a didactic setting led by a Teaching Artist. Audiences may 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), or 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 in order for audiences to have a deeper understanding of Mexican culture. Each workshop will run for 50 minutes with a Q&A at the end.
