As a background to the December 12, Fiesta a la Virgen de Guadalupe performance of the Danza de la Pluma in Teotitlán del Valle, mañana (Dec. 10, 2014) at 5:00 PM at the Oaxaca Lending Library, Chris (of Oaxaca-The Year After fame) and I are doing a presentation about the Danza de la Pluma in Teotitlán del Valle.
From the library’s description of the talk, “The Danza de la Pluma or Dance of the Conquistadors is one of the most famous dances performed in Oaxaca. Join Shannon and Chris for a presentation filled with photos and video of their many times observing and chronicling this beautiful dance.”
Alas, it’s not free. Besides memberships, presentations like this are what keeps the library afloat. The cost is 70 pesos for OLL members and 100 pesos for non-members. Hope to see you there!

All the best in your presentation, which surely with your superb photo skills promises to be a great success !!

Hurray, I’ll get to meet you and Aleksandra!
We’ll be there!
Thanks for coming!
I wish I could be there – it sounds like a really enjoyable occasion.
Shannon, I would really like to make a direct connection with you…if you happen to remember me, I was one of two women from Madison, WI – one a very sick woman…You joined us in our taxi in a bit of a tizzy, ‘cos your alarm had not gone off! I had just spent 3 weeks in Oaxaca, and loved the experience (including going to the library and meeting some ex-pats to play bridge and to attend a presentation by a priest on the prison system)…
Part of my time there was studying Spanish, and I am wanting to return for about 3 months, hopefully to improve my Spanish even more!…If you feel so inclined could you contact me either through my WordPress.com account, or if that doesn’t work, on this site, and I will give you my email account address.
