On November 3rd, Scapa’s middle and elementary dance majors went to see Dia De los Muertos which was performed by Bluegrass Youth Ballet at the Lexington Opera House. This performance was choreographed and created by Adalhi Aranda Corn. She decided that she wanted to share the history and her traditions of the Mexican Day of the Dead holiday through a dance. Throughout the performance there is a slide show playing in the background. The pictures shown in the background usually matched the theme of each dance. For example, while everyone joins together in the cemetery close to Estelita’s grave, in the background pictures of decorated skeleton heads with flowers around them are shown. This performance is different from most ballet performances.
