Create a vibrant Jalisco dancer using a decorated paper fan inspired by the flowing skirts of traditional Mexican folk dance.

Traditional Jalisco dancers are part of Mexico’s lively Ballet Folklórico tradition, known for colourful costumes, sweeping skirts, rhythmic footwork, and joyful mariachi music. Their wide, ribbon-trimmed skirts create beautiful wave-like shapes, making them a recognisable symbol of Mexican folk dance.

In this craft activity, residents decorate paper fans to form the dancers’ skirts, then add the waist and head pieces to complete each figure. It’s a colorful way to celebrate Mexican culture while encouraging creativity and fine motor skills.
