Peru - Danza de los Negritos (dance of the little blacks), in all the mountain ranges of the country.

A folkloric dance from the area of Huanca in central Peru (Huánuco, Pasco and Junín). According to tradition originally it was a dance of the slaves that had been taken to work in the haciendas of the mountain range. Unlike what happened in the coastal area, they was no ban on celebrating with dances, which were highly appreciated by the local population, hence, with the passing of time, Indians, Mestizo and Creoles assimilated this type of dance, which is why this dance is representative of the cultural and ethnical mix of the mountain ranges.
