DANZAS DE VIEJITOS MASK MAKING WORKSHOP

The Mexican state of Michoacán is one of the richest when it comes to folk traditions in music, dance and crafts. Some very popular traditions that have been preserved by the P’urhépecha Indians are the Danzas de Viejitos(Dances of old men). These light hearted and humorous masked dances mimic the movements of old men. This workshop, presented by Sones de Mexico, will teach children about the history and traditions of this state through mask making and learning a traditional dance.  No registration necessary.  Grades K - 3 (Preschool okay with caregiver).  No Registration Necessary.
