9780865346345 The Matachines dance; a ritual dance of the Indian pueblos and Mexicano/Hispano communities.
Roybal-Windham, 35, a native of El Rancho and former cheerleader at Pojoaque High School, said she began her career in dance at the age of 5, dancing with Los Matachines del El Rancho.
The program spans pre-Hispanic rituals such as in the ballet ``Los Matachines,'' which reflects the ancient custom of dancing with one's gods; dramatic events such as the revolution of 1910; and dances representing the village life of Mexico's various states.
