It was an amazing time in Peru and we have returned refreshed and ready for our Fall and Winter Seasons! Over the last three weeks in Peru we have taken master dance classes with director of Los Guapos del Centro Mr. Elvis Cabrera in Huaylarsh, Festejo, Zamacueca & baile Amazonico. It was an incredible honor to work so closely with a champion dance teacher who has inspired so many youth from Lima to proudly represent the Huanca nation through Huaylarsh. We traveled to Cuzco, Sacsayhuaman & nearby ruins, Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Chincheros and one of the Seven Wonders of the World...Machu Picchu ! While in Cuzco we visited the Qosco Center of Native Arts to admire the most beautiful dances from various regions of the Andes. We then flew to Piura where we meet Mr. Jose Fernandez, son of legendary Zelmy Rey to receive master classes in Marinera Norteņa and Tondero. We traveled to Catacos and the marshy beaches of San Pedro in Sechura where we admired the array of seagulls, cranes, pelicans and flamingos that live there. Overall we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to complete our mission. We would not have been able to complete this mission had it not been that the Chicago Foundation for Education granted our Kathy a teacher fellowship and as travel companions we were there to share the experience! Keep your eyes open for developments as Kathy develops her elementary unit on Peru! / Ya estamos de vuelta! Tuvimos un viaje maravilloso al Peru y regresamos refrescados y listos para bailar este otoņo e invierno! Mientras en Peru hemos tomado clases de Huaylarsh, Festejo, Zamacueca y baile Amazonico con el director de Los Guapos del Centro Sr. Elvis Cabrera. Fue un honor poder trabajar con el ya que el a inspirado a tantos jovenes Limeņos a representar la cultura Huanca campionando en el Huaylarsh. Tambien viajamos al Cuzco, Sacsayhuaman y ruinas cercanas, Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Chincheros y a una de las siete maravillas de mundo...Machu Picchu ! Mientras estuvimos en el Cuzco visitamos el Qosco Centro de Artes Nativas y apreciamos danzas bellas de varias regiones de los Andes Peruanos. Entonces volamos a Piura donde conocimos al Sr. Jose Fernandez, hijo de la legendaria Zelmy Rey, y recibirmos instruccion en Marinera Norteņa y Tondero. Viajamos tambien a Catacos y a la playa de San Pedro in Sechura donde observamos una variedad de aves pacificas que habitaban ayi. Sobre todo nos sentimos bendecidos por haber tenido la oportunidad de completar nuestra mision. No lo podriamos haber hecho sin el apoyo de Chicago Foundation for Education quienes becaron a Kathy con un fondo de docente. Como sus compaņeros, estubimos ayi para apoyarla y compartir en la experiencia! Les estaremos avisando sobre los desarrollos de su unidad escolar que ha sido inspirado por este viaje al Peru ! - ks http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=2014738 http://feeds.rapidfeeds.com/?iid4ct=2014738 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 16:42:00 EST The new pictures and videos are up!
