Peru 4 - Dancing
Peru 4 - Local Dancing
Our final day in Cuzco saw us visit a number of local churches and land-marks, and then we attended a local dancing show in the Cultural Centre Theatre of Cuzco.
Again, this last was included in our Tourist Pass, and so I suppose it turned out to be good value - the Pass also pays the entry into Machu Picchu, to whih we are heading by very early train tomorrow!
The dancing was very interesting, lasting about 90 minutes in all, and showing several different styles both of dance, and dress.
Although the dancing was interesting, I was quite surprised to see that the theatre was full, many of those present were clearly locals, and they were clearly enjoying themselves.
Though the weather during the day was warm and sunny, evening in Cuzco are downright cold (it's at 3600 metres after all), and so not only were we well wrapped up, but hot coca tea was served during the interval.
It was quitre interesting to see the scant regard paid to Health & Safety in the theatres. The theatre was full, with more patrons than fixed seats, so foldaway chairs were brought out, with these sited at the ends of the aisles, quickly blocking the exits!
Glad to see the H&S police weren't present.
