LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Grupo Folklórico Libertad de Las Vegas celebrates National Hispanic American Heritage Month at DISCOVERY Children's Museum.

Folklórico is a traditional style of dance and can be traced back to indigenous people living in Mexico.

During this form of dance, Women wear colorful and long skirts and usually wear a long-sleeved blouse with their hair braided, usually with ribbons in Mexican colors.

Traditionally, the men wear "charro" which is a Mexican suit and the attire is usually black.
