We were invited to travel with a dance group from our site to San Jose to enjoy a demonstration of Costa Rican dance. The dance groups often made their own costumes, props, and routines, but all of the dance routines focused on traditional bailes
típicos and la marimba. Most of the dances come from Guanacaste and many of the dances act out a farming story. It was a wonderful display of national heritage! We're so happy we received the invitation to attend.

| Less flashy, because in this style the dancers are often barefoot and dressed in farmer’s clothing (campesino). |
