Folklore

This is a great site for resources dealing with dances, holidays, and festivals in Latin America.  Put out by UT, it has a complete list of all Latin American countries and their respective cultural distinctions, especially with regard to folklore.  This would be a great springboard for research papers or presentations for students interested in traditional dances and clothes in Latin American countries.  Many of the descriptions are intermediate level and short exerpts could even be appropriate for lower intermediate students who are interested in this kind of topic.  For other dance ideas, a teacher could find videos of dances or even teach a short demo dance class in Spanish.  It would be a great alternative to traditional TPR methods of teaching because it would be in an actual context.
