4th grade students from Washington School in Eureka took a field trip to HSU to see an exciting performance by the Calpulli Mexican Dance Company. Some student reflections include:
"That performance was amazing! My favorite was the competitive dance where all the men were stomping in front of each other. I want to know how their feet aren't always hurting."
"The Mexican music was beautiful and I have never heard it before so thank you very much."
"I loved the candle dance and I wish I could see it again. It made me feel like I can do anything if I believe in myself. Thank you."
"It was cool because I now have seen instruments I have not seen. I didn't know that the dances were so hard."
One of the teachers wrote,
"...they all loved it and felt like they understood something about Mexico now. One thing that struck me is that all of my kids were okay that the music and dance weren't what they usually hear. It was a lesson in tolerance (for me!)"
