We celebrated el Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe with the dancers in Teotitlan del Valle. For this particular danza de las plumas, many of the danzantes had made special capes of the Virgin to wear. But first, the setting, a late afternoon on a rare cool afternoon with clouds and showers.
The full outfits
Each cape was a special work of art and I will let them speak for themselves.
It really is mind blowing how much time, effort, imagination, artistry and skill go into their work and is one of the reasons why Teotitlan del Valle is such a magical and special place.
