Cueca!

Cueca is the national dance in Chile. I've seen it performed a few times...by professionals. As these pictures and videos will show you - its not as easy as it looks! Javier, the music teacher at my school, visited the house tonight to teach me Cueca. He is an incredibly patient person...as most of you know, I have zero grace.

This link has photos from Valley Forge (my parents included a few before sending my camera), our house in Calama, and of course - Cueca!

ENJOY!

(PS - I've moved from Pimp My Ride to Guns N'Roses, Lenny Kravitz, and Bon Jovi...I plan to keep the pop culture flowing in my classes!)
