Yesterday was a full day trip to a turtle reserve (Tamar
Project) in Praia do Forte, about 1½ hours from Salvador. We saw baby turtles
from the size of your hand to adults bigger than me! The trip was immediately followed
up by a night on the town to practice the dancing we learned in class on Friday
(not one bit of sitting, my favorite kind of class!). In addition to salsa, there are all kinds of dances
typical here such as forro and samba as well as group style dances
like the one that goes with Michel Telo’s “Ai Se Eu Te Pego.” Watch video 1 for
the song, then videos 2 and 3 for the dance!
Video 1
(the original song, live version)
Video 2
(what we wished we looked like)
Video
3 (more like what we looked like with our instructor…but still not even that good)
In the photo: Priscilla, Asal, Chelsea and myself in Rio Vermelho celebrating Priscilla's birthday with caipirinhas and dancing!
What fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I might have to add this song to my workout play list.
I love that song, I've watched that video so many times and wouldn't dare try and do the dance in front of anyone :) you guys are brave! i loved forro dancing in rio last year, it reminded me of two stepping a little bit. we randomly learned forro from some friends when we first got there and enjoyed it so much that we went to a forro club a few nights later to do it again. forro bands play in austin sometimes (horizontes radio program on fridays always tells when a band is performing). when you get back we'll have to go forro dancing!
