Dinner and Folkloric Show

Ref. T-014

Among Panama 's many attractions is the female's national dress called the "Pollera", which is totally hand-embroidered and has a variety laces.

The woman's head is adorned with what we call "Tembleques", small headpieces made of fish scales and pearls which move rhythmically when the lady moves her head while she dances. It is from this movement that the “tembleques” gets its name (temblar means to shake.)

Besides the tembleques, small ornamental combs and a larger comb (peinetón) is worn in the head, these also have movement when the lady dances.

The jewelry which complement s this beautiful and rich attire is composed of 6 chain necklaces, to include scapularies, and other chain necklaces (i.e. cadena chata)... and the famous “mosqueta” pendant and earrings.

This dress has won awards on many occasions, grabbing the attention of photographers when it is presented.

Besides enjoying this show, you will enjoy our native Panamanian dishes.
