表演舞团 (Expresiones Dance Company)
地方性遗产

新墨西哥舞蹈影响了许多事物,包括嘻哈舞(hip-hop)在内。

表演舞团(Expresiones Dance Company )呈现墨西哥各地的常规舞蹈及音乐。表演者也会演出新墨西哥文化所发现的其他舞蹈类型,如:嘻哈、拉丁音乐及阿芝特卡 (Azteca:一种带有宗教风格的旧时墨西哥舞蹈) 。这间舞蹈公司不只在新墨西哥当地表演,它还巡回美国各地演出,包括德州、科罗拉多及肯塔基,甚至是位于佛罗里达州的迪士尼世界 (Disney World) 的埃普科特中心 (Epcot Center) 都有他们的踪迹。舞者也曾出现在全国电视节目上。

数世纪以来,新墨西哥文化被来自许多不同团体的人逐渐塑造成形,包括曾住在此处达数千年的印地安人,如:纳瓦伙族 (Navajo) 、普魏布勒族 (Pueblo) 、阿帕契族 (Apache) 及犹特族 (Ute) 。自1500年代以来,西班牙即探索及定居在该区。而1800年代时,新墨西哥成为墨西哥的一部分,然后再成为美国的一部分。透过他们的表演,表演舞团的舞者能帮忙保存这个复杂的文化及新墨西哥的常规。


New Mexican dance has many influences - even hip-hop.

The Expresiones Dance Company performs traditional dances and music from all over Mexico. The performers also include other dance styles found in New Mexico culture, such as hip-hop, Latin, and Azteca, an old Mexican dance with a religious flavor. The dance company has performed not just in New Mexico but all over the United States, including Texas, Colorado, Kentucky, and even Disney World's Epcot Center in Florida. The dancers have also appeared on national television.

New Mexico culture has been shaped by many different groups of people over the centuries. Indians such as the Navajo, Pueblo, Apache, and Ute, have lived there for thousands of years. Beginning in the 1500s, the Spanish explored and settled in the area. In the 1800s, New Mexico became a part of Mexico and then of the United States. Through their performances, the dancers of the Expresiones Dance Company help preserve this complex culture and tradition of New Mexico.
