The Wanaragua is a masked dance popularly known as the "Jankunu" in Belize. Historically this dance was performed from house to house around Christmas time. The Jankunu dancers are still a part of Christmas celebrations today. The Jankunu is very much reminiscent of the "Masquerade" dance performed in Nigeria. The major similarity is the masks that are worn in these dances, resembling European Colonial Slave Masters and aimed at mimicking and ridiculing them.
Kindly Join us as we celebrate Christmas Belizean style at the San Pedro House of Culture on Saturday, December 21, 22, 23 at 5 PM.
