Trying to capture any kind of dance in photos or video is difficult. Do you try to take in the whole or concentrate on something like the feet as they execute the choreography? Sometimes it all goes by in a blur.
And it is serious physical work, fighting the wind and dancing. You can see the strain on Eligio Ruiz Contreras's face.
Catching Malinche, Quetzali del Rayo Santiago Ruiz, just as she twirls...
And then there's her counterpoint, her Spanish version, Doña Marina, Elizabet Hernandez Gutierrez.
One has to learn to anticipate, to shoot just a moment before they leap or turn..... and sometimes, you just have to get lucky..... or they stand still for a second.
