Summary
| Description |
English: Dance of the old men, "Danza de los Viejitos" is a dance in the island of Janitzio, Michoacan. It is a humorous dance where the dancers wear masks of old people along with their typical campesino clothing. The dance starts out with aching and hunched over old men, with minimal movements. These movements turn into vigorous dancing combined with trembling and coughing and falling over by the "old men". The dance has lost its original meaning, and has now come to represent the richness of life expressed in a dance, as a gift to Baby Jesus, since they could not afford to give him anything else. The dance is done several times a year, during religious holidays.
