Hi Rikki-Lee
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen a dance that I don't know very much about so thank you it is great to read about something new.
I really like the big costume skirt that the lady is wearing in your photo. It makes this dance seem so dramatic!
It certainly looks so South American and just what you would expect if you were to visit the country of Dominican Republic.
It's amazing that some of these dances have actually been around for such a long time and people have been doing this dance since 1930. Wow!
What would our national dance be in New Zealand ?
Great work researching this dance Rikki-Lee. I really enjoyed reading you post.
Keep blogging!
Until next time
