Celebration of Indigenous Dance

I went to a Celebration of Indigenous Dance this evening at the Newberry Library. http://www.newberry.org/11132014-celebration-indigenous-dance

It was a great evening and I especially enjoyed the Black Hawk Performance Company (an authentic Native American dance troup) and the Chicago-based Nuahalli Aztec Dancers. Both dance troups wore very colorful national dress, with a great drum beat.

Other dance troups included BIBAK traditional Igorot dance and song:  http://www.4kbreathsofheritage.com/blog
