40th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering

Get moving to the music of Lone Piñon, who will teach you a few simple and fun traditional dance steps and figures. Dances like La Camila, la varsoviana, el valse de los paños, la vaquera, and others have been danced in New Mexico weddings and dance halls for centuries. These dances have a deep history in the Spanish-speaking ranching communities of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado and they are a proven recipe for lots of fun. Earn the rancheros’ respect (or try to!) with these waltzes and figure dances from the Upper Rio Grande Valley. Suitable for all ages.
