Masked dances are
a Maya tradition in Guatemala for the festival of each town. There are
around thirty different dances performed in the Maya pueblos of
Guatemala. Some of the dances such as the Baile de Venado [deer dance]
have their roots in the pre-conquest Maya culture. The Dance of the
Conquest, the most popular, tells the story of the last king of the
Maya, Tecun Uman, and his defeat at the hands of the Spaniards. The
fanciful costumes are rented from morerias, a one or two day walk
for the Tz'utuhiles. |
