The word "Guelaguetza" means "offering" in Zapotec, and the festival is a celebration of the diversity of Oaxaca's indigenous cultures. The most popular dances are the Danza de la Pluma (Feather Dance), the Danza de los Diablos (Dance of the Devils), and the Danza de los Viejitos (Dance of the Old Men).
