After spending nearly three quarter of a day at Las Pozas, we hurriedly left that location to get to the Xilitla Town center in order to catch the traditional Sunday town dance 'Huapango'. Jackie said we must get there before 5pm as that's when the event finishes.

Huapango is a fast and complicated Mexican couple dance that is usually performed on a wooden platform to accentuate the rhythmic beating of heels and toes. Like flamenco in Spain, Huapango is a style of Mexican music that is meant to be danced to.

Huapango originated in northeastern Mexico dates from the end of the 19th century and is influenced by Spanish and indigenous cultures.

It was at this Huapango event that we met Senora Juanis and her hubby who came from the nearby regions. In fact, there are many Mexicans coming from other nearby regions as well especially for this Huapango dancing event. very very interesting. So glad that I had a chance to experience HUAPANGO.
