Esta obra empieza con tres mujeres bailando sus goces individuales. A medida que la música de Blas Galindo continúa, ellas se unen para dar expresión a la alegría colectiva del trabajo, el amor, el nacimiento de los hijos, la mesa y la comida; todo ello las convierte en pueblo. La unión que ellas expresan es un tanto literal, en el sentido clásico, inspirada en el trío unido por los rebozos que ellas usan, así como metafísica.

Contreras's pieces were reviewed by critics such as Clive Barnes for The New York Times, who, when he viewed the Joffrey Ballet's performance of Huapango in 1966, lauded the piece for its "tequila-like potency,"adding that "Miss Contreras, using just four dancers in simple leotards, no scenery and no story, manages to keep her dancers joyously afloat. . . just the four of them [manage] to fill out the large City Center stage."   The recipient of numerous awards and honors in her native country as well as abroad,including in Europe and Russia, (The Diary of a Choreographer by Gloria Contreras Translated from the Spanish by Mitchell Snow and Lucinda Gutiérrez, Edition by Daniel Shapiro) Video: Genigráfika Subido por: aficionado del taller coreográfico de la UNAM, únicamente por fines de difusión (fragmentos).
