Hosted by the talented Karen Hernandez Morales! I'm so excited to bring you a small taste of what I have been doing in Mexico City the past three years as a student of folklorico dance. In my 6-day course you will be exposed to the basic, general and specific zapateado technique from the region of Veracruz, Mexico. Veracruz is the state with a heritage of eerie esoteric magic, black, white and indigenous cultural integration, folklore of sirens and pirates, the birth of many music styles, delicious cuisine, and other unique traditions from the coast. Come prepared to let go of expectations and let the music in as you embody generations of cultural wealth and knowledge. We will prepare a small repertoire of 4-5 numbers to perform (optionally) for loved ones at the end of the course. You will learn La Bruja, El Colas, El Jaqueton, La Bamba as well as how to do traditional hair from profesional hair stylists and Catrina makeup for Día de Los Muertos.
