Evolution of Ethnomathematic´s Analysis of Dance "Palo de Mayo" in Costa Rica

Abstract

This poster describes the ethnomathematical analysis process performed to a traditional Afro-Caribbean dance in Costa Rica, "Palo de Mayo", through ethno-modeling. The dancer with their movements around a tree holding some colored ribbons create a braid. The ethno-model shows the circular movements realized by the dancers that represent at the same time the dancing choreography and the weaving.
