Mexican Culture Dance Fair w/ Pictures and Video!








These are pictures of our trip on Sunday afternoon to the Mexico Cultural Dance Fair at the Theatre Degollado. I went with the boys as Joelle had a temperature and mom stayed home with her. This was a field trip for the MS students so I spent a good amount of time "shushing"!


Here are some pictures of the inside and outside of the theatre. The theatre is 150 years old and is in the heart of historic downtown Guadalajara. The pictures of the inside don't do it justice as the architecture is incredible. It is a rather small theatre with 5 levels of balconies as you can see in the 1st two pictures.


On a funny note, Edan got pooped on by a pigeon as we sat in front of the theatre waiting to go in! You can see in the pictures that his shirt is still wet from being cleaned.


The dancing and colorful costumes were incredible, but I have no doubt the girls might have appreciated the experience more then the boys. I posted a short video of one of the dances below, but because of the darkness of the theatre the colors are not done justice.
