Traditional Bolivian Dance
Considered some of the oldest known complex societies in the Americas, these cultures carry music and dance traditions that reach back 5,000 years. Bolivian dance repertoire, like other Andean cultures, consists of pre-Colombian dances performed in rural areas during religious and secular community celebrations, as well as the European influenced mestizo dances performed at popular festivals and celebrations of patron saints. During community celebrations, group solidarity is strengthened, while shared values and cultural identities are reaffirmed.

Tinku is a pre-Columbian ritual from Potosi, Bolivia in which two communities come together in a "fierce celebration." Originally performed on sacred grounds, people fought for their ayllu, or community. Each community would compete and compare strength in an attempt to gain favor for abundance and fertility from Pachamama, the mother land. Winning the battle meant gaining prestige, land rights and favors from the losing party. Tinku is also a musical rhythm done to a marching movement.

From the Andean communities in northern La Paz, Suri Sikuri is a dance dating back to 800 BC. The name refers to the ostrich, the suri, as the magnificent headdress is made of its feathers. The dance is performed in harvest ceremonies and depicts the hunting of the suri. Sikuri is a musical form, performed by a large number of marching musicians playing the panpipes, know as sikus. Two performers are needed to complete the musical scale, which reflect the Andean ethos of the balance of opposites.
