Huapango

Dancers: Elsy Contreras and Alfonso Avila

"Carl Orff's O'Fortuna was perfect for this dance," Elsy says. However, she created her own rhythm to better exemplify the projection of her dance. La Fortuna was performed at the 40th Anniversary of the United Nations, in honor of the victims of the Mexico City earthquake of 1985. La Fortuna also appeared on Night by Night (Noche a Noche), at the time, one of Mexico City's most important cultural TV channels.
