January 2025 - Spanish Wedding Dance
About the Image(s)
This was a presentation of traditional folk dancing done in Northern Spain. This is a wedding dance in which the bride wears a large basket filled with bread on her head to represent prosperity and fertility. It is considered good luck for the marriage if she can dance without letting the basket fall.

Wonderful hats along with showing us stuff which we don't normal see well done. Posted: 01/10/2025 13:26:06
Very colourful and intricate clothing. It seems very ritualistic and traditional but looks a little incongruous as they seem to be just dancing in a hall. Posted: 01/14/2025 14:50:54
Yes, it was a demonstration of the different folk dances done in a hall. Posted: 01/16/2025 15:10:46
It's nice and colorful photo. Is the bride on the far right? Can't see those were bread.
