Bhutanese Dancers




Crestone Charter School students joined students and community members at the Moffat School gym to enjoy a Bhutanese dance performance sponsored in part by Crestone Performances (the folks from the wonderful Crestone Music Fest). The performance was incredible with colorful, swirling costumes, animal masks and traditional instruments. The final dance, a representation of the soul's journey through the afterlife towards rebirth, is considered one of the national treasures of Bhutan. What a privilege to share such cultural exchange here in our rural Colorado community!
