Jarana!

     Last night we learned some of the traditional dance of the Yucatan. Jarana (ha-ra-na) is typically danced in couples, but there are certain songs which focus mostly on the woman. Since in this group we have chicas, we learned the steps to "Mujeres que pintan" (the women that paint).
Jarana in regional dress. In Merida you can experience this tradition every Sunday and Monday in the Plaza Principal and Saturday evenings in el Remate
      Here are a few images of what the class was like, video to follow!
