It just keeps getting better.... On Tuesday, the danzantes from Teotitlan del Valle, once again, danced la danza de la pluma, as the village continued to celebrate la Preciosa Sangre De Nuetra Señor Jesucristo, which will keep going for the rest of the week.
This is the beginning of the end for these dancers. The final year of a three year commitment. A pensive Claudio Vincente Gutierrez with the sacred mountain, El Pecacho, in the background.
The sun blessed the afternoon. Salvador Hipolito Gutierrez shines bright.
Just a gorgeous day. You shoulda been there.....
It is a long series of dances, almost eight to ten hours at times. The whole varies as things are added, deleted or changed. Leonardo Ruiz Lopez in mid-air.
So... it is a long event... you can imagine how many photos and videos, one can get in a single day. One out of a hundred is a keeper.
More importantly, think about dancing for that amount of time.
What amazing grace and stamina.... and dealing with the winds, which are really strong at times. Roman Gutierrez Hipolito.
Those penachos catch the winds like sails. Makes for strong neck muscles.
Back for more tomorrow... and some nice video to post when it gets done.
