Peruvian Dinner Theater

c
Last night we went to the Peruvian Dinner Theater. These are a few photos from the tradional dances of Peru. The one with the large head is like the lucky Buddha of Peru. The show had dances from many of the areas and cultures of Peru – Lima, Cusco (Inca), Puno, Ica and other coastal regions. The costumes were very colorful. My favorite dance was the scissors dance. These two men dance with the two components of a pair of scissors in their hands keeping a constant rhythm while they tumble and dance around. They were pretty amazing. I will post a video so that you can hear the music and write about the dances a bit later.
