1. the way their traditional garb interacts with their movement... compare this with western ballet, which isolates the body via tight clothes (centers human form)... in peru they seem more interested in creating spectacle with inanimate objects and designs, very beautiful!
2. the movement of their jaws & knees! almost like a puppet they are moving their face very subtly in co-ordinance with their feet
3. how much it resembles square-dancing of the american southwest. hints @ wild early cultural appropriation & the extent to which even quintessentially "american" cultural landmarks in fact are in great debt to other communities... traditional latin american dance colonized & reduced to white cowboy hoedowns
