Capitol Hill High School is one of few dance programs in the OKCPS district that includes folkloric styles of dance. Capitol Hill High school studies specifically Mexican Folkloric & Flamenco dance alongside all the other areas of dance. I particularly have a passion for incorporating these genres of dance because of the growing rate of minority students in our school. I have seen 1st hand for over 5 years how teaching Mexican Folk and Flamenco teaches our students pride in their own culture and other cultures. It expands their education on other cultures and broadens their minds to the world around them. The students at Capitol Hill High School take immense pride in keeping these folkloric styles alive and growing. As these styles are taught, I make sure to teach the historical stories and significance behind each dance. Each dance is connected to a specific state in Mexico and the costume itself has historical meaning behind them. I currently have only been able to cover 2 states in Mexico out of the 32 states. The students have shown a lot of interest in adding another state to their repertoire. I have been unable to do that because the costumes are very expensive. I believe our students deserve to continue their study of Mexican Folk dance and these new Jalisco dresses would allow us to do that. The vendor is Mariachi Connection.
