DescriptionThis image depicts four Hispanic dancers performing a hat dance in Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The man and the woman on the right side of the frame are doing the dance while the two women on the left are watching and clapping. The female dancer is wearing a floral-patterned dress while the male dancer is wearing a dark colored suit. The man's hat is on the dirt ground while the woman steps on it with one foot. The other two women are both wearing dark colored skirts. One of these skirts has a poodle on it. All four of these people are standing in front of a wooden door in the side of a wall. The door has a bell above it.
