From which country came a dance used to convert slaves from a continent that borders the Mediterranean Sea?
Baile de la Conquista The Baile de la Conquista or Dance of the Conquest is a traditional folkloric dance from Guatemala. The dance reenacts the invasion led by Spanish Conquistador Don Pedro de Alvarado y Contreras and his confrontation with the K'iche' Maya ruler Tecún Umán. Although the dance is more closely associated with Guatemalan traditions, it has been performed in early colonial regions of Latin America at the urging of Catholic friars and priests, as a method of converting various native populations and African slaves to Christianity.
Rugovo (sword dance) The Warrior dance of Rugovo (Albanian: "Vallja me shpata e Rugovës" , Serbian: Борбена руговска игра ) is a traditional sword dance named after the Rugova Canyon in Kosovo. There are two male dancers who fight a mock battle for the hand of a girl (a "maiden's dance"). It was made internationally famous by the Kosovo Albanian Rugova clans (hailing from Kelmend in Albania). It has been unreliably claimed that the dance was a historical "warrior training of the guard of the Monastery of Peć". The dance is also found in mountainous Montenegro, where a tribe of shepherds settled in the 18th century. It was part of Yugoslav folk dancing ensemble, and in 1982, it was noted that "in the last time the Rugova dance has gained wide popularity".
