Norogachi – Dance Hall Inauguration

In January of 2006, we were invited to witness, participate in, and document the inaugural celebrations of the new Ceremonial Dance Hall in Norogachi. A mass was celebrated in the Ceremonial Dance Hall, followed by song dance, culminating with Matachín Dances. Following the dances there was a communal feast meal and a Tesguinada. Below are some snippets of raw footage of the documentation of the event. Please press on the images to see videos of the inauguration of the Ceremonial Dance Hall.
