Question

how have rituals surrounding the spanish plaza influenced events known as proms?

Answer 1

During the Spanish colonial period, there was a lot of influence of the Maya language and the Maya festivals. These rituals included the theatrical presentations, dances, and illusionism. There was a lot of sparkling lights of gold, small shining stones, shell tinklers, along with dance performances, humor, and tricks. The most important part of these rituals were the music, dance, the elaborate costumes, along with food and drinks.

The same rituals have been carried forward to the 'Prom' culture. A prom is held in educational institutions, usually to honor the outgoing students. The main theme of a prom is having a partner of the opposite gender, getting dressed up, music, dance, and food.
