Dia de la Marinera
The day honoring the marinera, the national dance of Peru. The marinera is a courtship dance that is performed by a couple, and it includes elegant footwork, handkerchief waving, and flirtatious movements. The marinera is not just a dance. It is a cultural institution, and the tradition is to perform it at every important occasion: weddings, birthdays, and national holidays. The marinera is the most elegant dance in Peru, and the tradition is to perform it with a handkerchief, a smile, and a lot of grace. The marinera has three regional styles: the marinera nortena (from Trujillo, the most famous), the marinera limea (from Lima), and the marinera punena (from Puno).
