DANCE
Ballet Folklórico Mexicano de Yale
Presenters:
Yale student dancers
Join us in an interactive session! Dancers from Ballet Folklórico Mexicano de Yale will introduce and teach everyone how to do a grito (a type of celebratory yell done by the dancers as a way to express enjoyment). Additionally, the dancers will teach the audience 2 fun steps (i.e. Café con Pan and Sopa de Pato). To end the interactive component, the dancers will ask participants to join the dancers on stage for a freestyle dance. The session will conclude with dance performances from the region of Jalisco, Mexico. Jaír will perform "El Gusto", a popular, fast-paced Mariachi song that is a staple of the region. Carmen, Marcos, Karla, and Levi will end with "Jarabe Tapatío", the national dance of Mexico.
