Hey, Let’s Dance — Coyolillo on Fat Tuesday, 2008

February 11, 2008 by silversard

 The two young people in the video below seemed to have captured the spirit of “Polka” music, but I will let you judge for yourself –

The above video does not have a photo embedded in it for some reason, but if you click on it you will see a short demonstration of young people dancing on a challenging stage surface.

Below are some samples of dancing in the streets –

Beauty and The Beast, perhaps?

Beauty and “the Beast” Dancing . . . which drew a lot of attention ;-)

The Beasts in the Crowd

Some of “the Beasts” on the Streets

Perhaps someone could write a comment about the nature of the costumes and the wood masks and the tradition they actually represent.

Finally, the dancing in the parade was both organized and spontaneous.   

One Enthusiastic Young Lady

The young lady above seemed to capture the “spirit” of the event
