The dance style, El Brinco del Chinelo, originated in the mid-19th century as a playful adaptation of European costumes, blending humor with cultural expression.

The costumes, which are a significant part of the performance, are shipped from Morelos, Mexico, and are known for their intricate design and vibrant colors.

The introduction of Los Chinelos de Morelos to Indianapolis by Pavel Polanco-Safadit not only celebrates Mexican culture but also enriches the local cultural landscape with its vibrant traditions.
