The Mexican Hat dance, also known as Jarabe Tapatío, is the national dance of Mexico.  It originated as a courtship dance in Guadalajara, Jalisco, during the 19th century. However, some of its elements can be traced back to the Spanish zambra and jarabe gitano.

The standard music of El Jarabe Tapatío was composed by Jesús González Rubio in the 19th century.  The Square Dance Heroes have arranged and recorded El Jarabe Tapatío (The Mexican Hat Dance) for your dancing and listening enjoyment!
