The reason I did my report on this is because my mother's family is Mexican. My name is Lisa. My mom is from Peru and that is also where this dance is from. It is danced in Northern Peru, in Trujillo. It is called Marinera.
Girls wear a long satin skirt with a matching satin vest.
Under the skirt, they wear a slip and dance barefoot. Ladies also wear long heavy earrings and a long heavy necklace, like you see in the photo above. The men wear either a white shirt with black pants and a thin jacket over the top, or they wear all white. They dance with their shoes on. By Lisa in Mrs. May's sixth grade I did a paper on the Cherokee Indians because I am related to them.
