La Danza de la Pluma in Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca

On December 12, 2009 El Grupo Promesa 2007 - 2009 performed their last dance for Our Lady of Guadalupe. A procession took place before the dancers began their last dance in front of their beautiful church. Their wives and relatives took part of the procession carrying hand painted gourds holding candies. Once the three hour dance was completed a mini-Guelaguetza (a gift) took place. The danzantes threw fruits and candies into the joyful crowd as mezcal was served to one and all. This last dance was truly inspired as the dancers seemed to be tops spinning in the air. At 5:00 AM the fiesta ended when the last firecracker was shot off into the early morning sky, the music stopped and a new day began. ¡Que viva la fiesta!
