What are the characteristics of "ribbon dance" in ancient Mexico?

"Ribbon Dance" includes religious sacrifices and is a ritual dance to pray for a bumper harvest. Dance is very popular in central Mexico and Yucatan Peninsula, and is usually performed in autumn harvest season. When dancing, people dance around an upright wooden stake with many colorful ribbons tied to it, and people dance with colorful ribbons in their hands. We can see this kind of dance scene in the ballet The Imprisoned Daughter. In the wheat field, people put up a tall wooden stake with many long ribbons tied to it, and the young men and women in the village each held a ribbon to shuttle. With the invasion of colonists, this traditional dance, which originated in the Nordic countryside, also spread to Mexico.
