Salsa Dancing at the local fiesta
Though my performance is based around Canarian day and the historical culture of the Islands, it is also important to bare in mind the islands cultures today. These islands always have something going on, one popular event is when the fiestas come to town; not only do we have fair rides, we have orchestras and performances by locals and guest artists or DJ’s, we have outdoor discos and ‘Fiesta Queen’ pageants. And though it may seem strange to someone coming from elsewhere it is completely normal for everyone to Salsa Dance at these events (Whether they do it well or not), young and old come out to dance, and often it is a Salsa or a Bachata or Merengue… These styles of dancing are very popular on the islands and though most people have not had training, everyone gives it a go.
