El Jarabe Tapatío

or…The Mexican Hat Dance

As part of our Mexican unit, Miss Khan and Year 6 learnt the traditional dance, ‘El Jarabe Tapatío’. This dance is more commonly know to you or I as ‘The Mexican Hat Dance’. It is the National Dance of Mexico and often performed at celebrations.

The students were quick to pick it up and enjoyed the repetitive choreography. Why not take a look at them in action…
