Hna. Silva comes to the office each Wed. & Friday to help Karen with her Spanish. She is a very caring former missionary and goes out with the hermanas as a mini sometimes
and used to teach at the Lima CCM for several years.
She invited us to go a Marinera dance competition to watch her younger sister compete. She and her partner placed second overall in their age group of the competition. There were 8 judges that gavethe dancers a score between 1 and 5. Sort of like the gymnastics.
The kids went from ages of 3-4 up to late teenagers. Their costumes were very colorful. the skirts can weigh up to 8 kg.
The music was very loud. I think where I first lost part of my hearing was in Peru when I was a young elder. They don't cheer like we would at a sporting event. They passed out this big wooden noise maker that you twirled around to show your appreciation.
The Marinera is really a dance of love where the girl is playing hard to get. The dancers, even the 3 year olds, are very serious but always smile.
Even kids in the audience were dancing.
Other than it being so noisy it was a lot of fun and very beautiful to watch.
