Title
Traditional clothing and dance
Description
Centro Cultural community members dressed in traditional Mexican clothing. The boys in front are dressed for El Baile de Los Viejitos or Dance of the Old Men. The dance originated in the Mexican state of Michoacn, and it is a humorous dance where the dancers wear masks of old people along with their typical campesino clothing. The girl on the right side of the photo is wearing a dress from the Mexican state of Jalisco. These dresses are known for being styled after Spanish dresses, appearing in Mexico after it was colonized. The dresses are traditionally made out of cotton and are brightly colored and adorned with ribbons. There are also two boys in the back row who are wearing sombreros.
