The dancers of Burgos are a group of dancing children who dress in the style of the court. They are always present in the parades of the most important festivals in the city.

The tetines accompany the dancers and have their origin in a grotesque figure who, with extravagant clothing, represented sin and the devil and frightened people who insulted and mocked him.

This group of statues in Plaza Teodoro Martínez in Burgos represents one of the dressed up and dancing children who usually participate in the city's festivities in Burgos accompanied by a "Tetin". Today's tetines are dance teachers who accompany the children, but they have their origin in a grotesque figure who represented sin and the devil and frightened the people who insulted and mocked him. The Tetins are dressed in colorful costumes with a conical hat and carry in their hands a ponytail with which they once cleared the streets of sinners.
This group was exhibited in 2006, created by the sculptor Teodoro Antonio Ruiz.
