Danza de los Huehues/ Dance of the Huehues

Celebrate Latino Heritage month with the Huehues! The Dance of the Huehues (old men) in Tlaxcala, Mexico traditionally involves magnificent paper maché masks and elaborate hats. It derives from the 1500s, when the indigenous people of Mexico found the dress and actions of the Spanish conquistadors to be silly and loved to make fun of their square dances and other activities. Bring the entire family to join in the tradition!
