Malpensante Festival

A dance troupe came to perform from Tlaxcala city, the state capital of Tlaxcala in Mexico, for a cultural festival. I didn't get much video because people kept walking in front of my camera but I was able to catch this short clip. It's an interesting style, they sort of model it after courtship and later actually danced a marriage ceremony or something. The other women wore big colorful dresses which they flapped and spun around in to create visual effects. The men danced primarily with their legs, almost Riverdance style at times. The music, however, is very distinctly Mexican.
