    The traditional dances of
    Mexico add to the
    charm and history of a
    nation already so firmly
    rooted in creative
    expression. Music, art
    and dance are all very
    special to the Mexican
    people, as is apparent in
    their many celebrations
    and traditions.
    The Day of the Dead,
    “Dia de Muertos”
    The holiday focuses on
    gatherings of family
    and friends to pray for
    and remember friends
    and family members
    who have died. The
    celebration occurs on
    November 1st and 2nd.
    Traditions include
    building private altars
    honoring the
    deceased, using sugar
    skulls, marigolds, and
    the favorite foods and
    beverages of the
    departed, and visiting
    graves with these as
    gifts.
    a ritualistic dance in
    Veracruz, Mexico
    performed by the Totonac
    Indians and Olmeca
    Indians. There is an initial
    dance made by five men,
    the instruments being a
    carrizo flute, a
    tamborcillo and maracas.
    The men, each
    representing the five
    elements of the
    indigenous world climb a
    top a pole, one of them
    stays on the pole playing
    a flute and dancing while
    the remaining four
    descend the pole with a
    rope tied by one of their
    feet. The rope unwraps
    itself 13 times for each of
    the four flyers,
    symbolizing the 52 weeks
    of the year.
    The Mayans, Aztecs and Incas are some of the
    first great civilization in all the world. Their
    history has been well preserved throughout
    the years and it is now possible to appreciate
    the past in the present.
    ART!
    Mexico is the nation of numerous amounts of
    great artists. Amongst these artists, the most
    popular one is Diego Rivera, as well as his wife
    Frida Kahlo.
