Every time I go to a new place, I like to walk around a bit in the evening, go to the centre and just see what’s going on. This time I had already seen the stage being set up, but hadn’t really given it a second thought. So it was all the cooler to walk into this show.

It started with two people playing guitar and singing and continued with various dance groups. As I had already seen a lot of different dances in Mérida, I had naively thought that it ‘probably’ wouldn’t be that much different. Well, far fetched. I had often been told beforehand that Mexico actually has many different cultures within one country. And therefore, of course, many different traditional dances. I learnt this lesson in Palenque. While I was impressed by the tap dancing in Mérida, in Palenque I wondered how they learnt to swing their clothes like that. I mean seriously…. I don’t think it’s as easy as it looks. Especially not with the precision. And it must be really hard on the arms and everything. 😀 And the music is also completely different – at least for me. So I was once again impressed and really enjoyed the spectacle. 😀
