Dancing in Southern Colorado

The Cortez Cultural Center in Cortez, CO was quite the site. They took a very plain looking building, painted some murals on the outside, put in a round dancing arena and it's quite a site. I decided to climb the ladder painted on the side of the building but the going was a little difficult.

The Roach family dancers from Gallup were terrific. At the end of the dancing we were asked to participate in a round dance in the arena. They also provided fry bread with honey.

The Lopez family dancers appeared on another night and did a great job. She looked like an eagle flying up from the ground. I'll post a video on some of this later.
