amorousodiousThis Wednesday was the first day that we had Danzas del Mundo in 5 weeks. We had to cancel the first three weeks for exams, the trip we made to see Ay, Carmela and then because Nacho couldn’t make it, and then we had two weeks of break. It was nice to get back to it since it’s something that I really get to look forward to during classes on Wednesdays.
This week’s Danzas del Mundo was especially entertaining. When I first got there it looked like it was just going to be three of us, Alicia, Heather and me, but then we went and got Ryan to join in as well. After that someone from the revista (another taller, writing a review of everything that happened this semester) came to take a picture, and somehow or another Nacho convinced the entire taller that they had to dance with us. The taller normally only lasts until 20, but we actually went until 20,30. It was amazing.
The first dance we did was a French dance in which you have a rio (river) in between two lines of people facing each other and the people travel down the rio in pairs. After that we did a dance from Israel called (translated into Spanish that is) el Sabio y el Loco (the wise man and the fool). It basically has two parts; you dance in a circle the whole time but the first part you hold hands and it’s very formal and stiff and the second part is where you get to be the loco. For the last dance before we headed home we did Pop Goes the Weasel since it was an easier dance that everyone could get the hang of.
When we got home we told Lucía all about the Pop Goes the Weasel dance, and the game that goes along with it and Lucía said that we should teach it to Claudia. I think it will be really fun to show her how to do it, and it should be interesting see if Alicia and I can explain it well enough that Claudia can understand what she needs to do.
