Special Event with Yolotzin

The Ballet Folklorico dance group, Yolotzin, from East Chicago, Indiana had a Dia de los Muertos-themed fundraising event yesterday and I was so happy to be a part of it! One of the parents asked that I face paint sugar skulls on all of the dancers and I have to say, it was SO much fun!!! To be honest, I was quite nervous because I had to work super fast but at the same time make sure that each design was different and detailed enough to capture the attention of guests. Everyone was pleased with my work so I think I accomplished my goal :)

Although the girls were the stars of the event, I was treated like I was VIP! Everyone was so pleasant and friendly that it felt like everyone was a big family. I was so honored to work with this group and I am so grateful that I was introduced to so many great people, including the girls, the parents (Veronica THANK YOU!), and Margaret the dance instructor. I have been invited to continue working with them and I truly look forward to their future events. Enjoy these pictures!

The following pictures were taken by one of the parents, Eliseo Maya. Thank you for sharing these with me!
