Dances and songs include traditional rural dances and festival dances that are extravagantly costumed or danced by masked characters. Dances might reveal a fusion of beliefs, such as the Bolivian dance which melds Catholic religious ideas and regional folk belief with the realities of working in the local mines, all expressed through pantomime and masks in this dance. Songs are sung in Spanish and the Andean language Quechua. Costumes are constructed by one of the lead dancers and changed for each number. Stringed instruments, congas, accordion, and vocals are included in the band.
Programs can include at least one dance in which the audience is invited to join.
The group sings the spirited Mexican songs in three part harmony. The repertoire focuses primarily on the son jaliciense or the song form from Jalisco, but also includes romantic boleros, dramatic pasadobles, and swift huapangos. Tamburitza orchestras demonstrate a family of instruments. The stringed tamburitzim of different sizes and ranges are called prim, brac, bugarija, from the very small held high against the chest, to the large bellied guitar-like instruments. German American traditions are presented by the immediate family and cousins of Leonard Nadler.
