It basically involves a lot of shoulder shrugging and hopping around. I think anybody could do it. It's very energetic and the dancers wear long, heavy velvet robes with masks of a bearded man and hats with feathers. They must get really hot in there. I do have one picture of them on flickr but it came out so blurry and dark that I didn't bother to add it here. you can see a better image here: http://www.mexicodesconocido.com.mx/notas/6281-El-brinco-del-chinelo-(Morelos)# Chinelos is the traditional dance of Morelos, the state I’m living in.
