On August 26th, 2015, our school{s Baile Folklórico dance group started up. This year Daisy, Kaliyah, Irais, Jada, Austin, Dulce, and I all joined. There were sixty people who joined the troupe at first, but now there are only about half as many. It’s challenging in many ways. The steps are complicated and the costumes are heavy, so you get tired. Also, practices take a lot of time. But when you actually perform, it’s worth it, and it’s fun to be with friends from other classes and schools. This is what the dance ‘El jarabe tapatío’ looks like:
Being involved in dance groups isn’t just fun. It’s also really healthy for you. It keeps you on your feet. If you’re not in a dance group already, you should think about joining one. 😀
G’day Serena,
I think it would definitely be difficult to dance with those heavy costumes on.
I used to do square dancing but we had skirts that weren’t that long and they were very lightweight.
