Mexico: Jarabe Tapatio
Colombia: The Cumbia
Dominican Republic: Merengue
Cuba and Puerto Rico: Salsa
Brasil: Samba
Argentina: Tango, Gauchos Dance: Malambo, Boleadoras
Spain:
La Jota
La Tuna
Zarzuela
Sevillanas
Flamenco
I liked the Tango and they went back and fort around and around.
ReplyDeleteThe dancers went back and fort again and again. I will remember the costumes they were cool.
DeleteI really enjoyed the whole show! My favorite dance was probably The Salsa. I didn't really like The costume choices for some of them. I also liked the Macarena!, that was super fun! I still wish that I got a red or yellow ticket but, it was still fun! I liked the second half a little bit better than the first one but, I liked them all!
ReplyDeleteI really wish I got at least 1 ticket too! But if I did I would want the red one better. (That one was the Macarena.)
DeleteMy favorite part about the field trip was Going up on stage and getting up onstage. All of my classmates thought it was really funny. my favorite dance was the salsa and the Tango. The costumes were really cool too. They were cool because the dancers could really dance with confidence.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Will that looked fun!
DeleteMy favorite part of the program was when all of the teachers an students went up to the stage and danced. Most of the Third Graders in the crowd did the same thing that the people on stage were doing. The most impressive the to me was the costumes and how the changed so fast! It takes me five minutes to get dressed for school for them it takes one and a half minutes to change in and out of thire costumes.
ReplyDeleteMy Favorite part of our field trip was the Tango and the Salsa. I liked them because they were very interesting. I loved going up on stage to do the Macarena. The costumes were very different from American costumes. The dance styles were very cool and fun. I will never forget the experience that I went to the Flamenco Ballet Performance.
ReplyDeleteI think the funniest part was when Talia, Will, and Canaan all went up on stage. My favorite dance was the Salsa because I have not seen the Salsa before.
ReplyDeleteI also thought it was it was funny.
Deletethank you so much for the compelment
DeleteIt was funny!
Deleteyes realley funny!!
DeleteThe ballet was amazing people from all over the world danced. It was so funny when Will,Talia,and Ellen went up to the stage and danced it was so cool.The costumes WERE so cool they were shinny and colorful and they looked like what the country would wear everyday.they danced like the country and the music was so cool the Hispanic Flamenco ballet was so good i loved it.
ReplyDeletethank you for the complement
DeleteEllen went onstage?
Deleteon the second time!
DeleteI thought that it was very interisting to see the different cultures,music and dances. One dance that stood out to me was the dance with the big, fluffy, furry, colerful feathers.Another thing that was not my favorite thing was when the interdoucers told us to repeet in spanish I did not quiet know what I was saying in translation. Last but not least I enjoyed was when the audeance got to go up to the stage and learn some moves and perform.
ReplyDeleteTalia
I like the Macarena because we got up and danced. I also liked the guy in the green and orange sparkly outfit. And like have mrs. Kottler go up and danced. I thuot it was cool that we were the only grade that spode up.
ReplyDeleteEven though I was not there I know that it was fun and wish I had been there!! As you described I heard that Talia, Will and Ellen went on stage to do the Macarena!! I bet all the dances we're fun

ReplyDeleteMy favorite dance was the macarana it was at the end of the last show.
ReplyDeleteIt was at the end of the Spain dances. At the end of each show if you get a ticket you get to go on stage. I liked a lot of other dances I hadn't seen most of them.In the macarana they did a lot of movement with there arms I messed up when every one stod up and did the movment.
I liked the Columbin dance the best. When one of the guys had the ropes with the things on the end and he said that he was going to take the girls glasses off I was thinking OMG! thankfully he did not take her glasses off. I liked the first part better than the secont one. over all I thought the field trip was very very very intertaining , wonderful , inerjetic and last of all awesome.
ReplyDeleteI really liked all of the dances! I think my favorites were the ones where some of the students sand teachers went up to the stage. I enjoyed seeing some of the 3rd graders doing the Macerana. (From Spain.) I also liked the Salsa, Flamenco, La Jota, Cumbia, La Tuna. I could go on but then I think I would have used ALL of the words !
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed as much as I did,
Abby
I liked both performances. I can't believe that there are under 15 people in the group. Their hands moved so smoothly and their costumes were amazing! It seemed like dance/music came naturally to them! The tap dancing guy, David was really fast! His arms barely moved but his legs seemed to be on fire. The musicians were good too. ( Especially the drummers and the person with the strings with "rocks" on the end of the strings. ) I thought the field trip was really awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the whole show. I liked the part when the guy used the Boleadoras and he spun them with his eyes. I also enjoyed the Brazilian dance. Their costumes were big and had lots of feathers.
ReplyDeleteI think it was cool when they did the salsa because they did it different then most people think it is. I think it was fun and a lot of work for the flamenco ballet. I had so much fun and I hope I can see it again just maybe after lunch.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite dance were the latin american dances.I really enjoyed the whole show! I liked the mackarana. I liked the first part the best.
ReplyDeleteI liked every dance especially the salsa and tango. Liked when Mrs. Kottler went up to the stage to do the macaraina. My favorite dancer was David. He was really good at the at the footwork for the salsa. When the dancers did Jarabe Tapito I think I heard La Cucaracha. I also liked how the guy with long hair said "I'm going to take off your glasses with this boleadoras"
