baile folclórico// folkloric dance

Carmen estuvo llendo a un curso de verano de danza folclórica. Iba dos horas diarias toda la semana. Le encantó, pues hizo varias amigas y además la clase era divertida. Tuvo un muy buen maestro. Calentaban con música moderna (merengues, cumbias). Luego practicaban un par de bailes folclóricos y terminaban jugando juegos tradicionales infantiles.

Carmen went to folkloric dance lessons this summer. She had a two-hour class every day from Monday to Friday. She loved it. She made several friends and had a great time. She had an excellent teacher. They warmed up every day dancing salsa and cumbias. Then, they learned and practiced a couple of folkloric dances and they ended their lessons playing traditional Mexican games.

Para la clausura del curso, le tocó vestirse de tehuana y bailar la sandunga, un baile del istmo de Tehuantepec.

They had a recital at the end of the summer course and Carmen dressed up as a Tehuana to dance "la sandunga", a traditional dance from the istmo de Tehuantepec.
