It was a miracle from the Lord to be able to sleep in past 6:30 this morning – for the first time all week it felt like I wasn’t waking up for a school day . Not only were we able to sleep in but when I flicked on the TV I was joyfully greeted by the French Open (I had been very sport deprived and love watching all of the tennis majors)! The hotel rooms were pretty impressive and we were also greeted by a wonderful breakfast buffet on a beautiful third floor terrace. The spread was great and having Wi-Fi while eating breakfast was something I never thought I’d see again. After our wonderful daily devotion delivered by the great Reverend Eric Bartel, we set off on foot through the hectic streets of well-advertised Lima. After a quaint yet …show more content…
The buffet was… interesting and definitely Peruvian… but good none the less. David and I both battled upset stomachs, something I have been all too familiar with on this trip, but we survived. Once, settled in we were treated to about six different styles of Peruvian dance, many of which became interactive! First was Matt Allen who marveled us with his ‘unique’ talent, but even better yet was the performance we witnessed from Ford McArver and Mrs. Watson! There was a dance where the performing couples would try to light a piece of paper on fire which was clipped to the others butt, while they were trying to dance away. This is exactly what Ford and Mrs. Watson got called up to do . While Ford embraced it and did more shimmying that he did lighting we all laughed hysterically as Mrs. Watson began running away when her partner was attempting to light her on fire. Besides this wonderful spectacle, the other highlight of dinner was Andrew Bansek and Thomas Carter getting turned away from an “all you can eat” dessert spread after taking about 30 of the miniature brownies each! And I must say the brownies helped my stomach too… once again proving to myself that sugar works very medicinally. Peru has been a phenomenal experience, yet spiritually and physically draining, and I can’t wait to get back to tell you all more about it in
On Sunday, October 29, 2017 at 2:30 P.M. I attended Ballet Hispanico at the Detroit Opera House. Ballet Hispanico was founded in 1970 by Venezuelan born dancer, Tina Ramiez after identifying the need to provide Latino dancers with access to training and performance opportunities. Ballet Hispanico is recognized as one of the country’s top Latino dance organizations. Over the past 40+ years, it has provided dance education and outreach programs to New York communities to engage interested residents in a guided exploration of dance and Latino cultures by expanding their knowledge in aesthetic awareness, cultural appreciation, and self-expression.
The third Mexican cultural activity that has survived and influenced the development of Chicana cultural practices in the U.S. is the Folklorico dances. These dances can be seen in the U.S. especially when there is a Mexican celebration or event. I personally experienced begin part of a group that danced folklorico. The dresses we used for the dance were inspired by the Yucatan look. We also accessorized with a crown of flowers made with fabric, long earrings, and a necklace of perals. We also combed all our hair back, and used make-up. It took alot of time to learn the three dances, and a lot of practice for the dance to come out good. In the end it was all worth it because I learned how to dance and how the women dress to dance. This cultural
So much God! Soaked it in! Full emersion! It was at the Carmelite Center, with all the relics and photos of Therese’ of Lisieux, the Little Flower.

Native American art forms have been dwindling in the past few years. Even though they have been decreasing, some tribes gather still to continue traditions. Art forms such as dance, pottery, and weaving have been passed down from generation to generation. There are many different types of dances including war dances, grass dances, and rain dances. Each dance has its own meaning and represents something unique. Native American dance is a creative way to tell a story, share values, pass down traditions, and communicate traditions of their ancestors in the 21st century.
When dancing, not only the feet but also the heart are used. Dancing Mexican folkloric dance is something that makes me feel alive and happy. When I start dancing, I forget everything around me. In the moment I listen to people applaud I feel great, I feel like I'm a professional dancer.

Hispanic American community are rooted from their origins in Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and other Spanish speaking countries that have come together and form a culture in the United State of America. The culture is built in different categories; for instance, religion, social custom, health practices their privacy, and birth. They come from a comprehensive familiar culture that has been called the second in America. Because of their pride and affection they feel unsafe to give up their past. Their notoriety in the United State has been their resistance to assimilate; their guarded image of Hispanic-American culture has been the tongue of flame. However, their remarkable legacy, Hispanics carry from Latin America is not their language, an
Although I spent most of the morning and afternoon engaged with schoolwork, it was impossible not to feel a growing excitement. The event at the Temple was an emotional milestone – not only for the installation itself (which made both local and nationwide news) but for my own return, as I hadn’t been back for a year. Few knew I would be there, so my arrival was met by surprise and heartfelt fondness. Each individual meeting with friends, acquaintances and clergy came accompanied by deep emotional tugs. Indeed, by the time I could talk to the now-senior rabbi I was nearly at a loss for coherent speech. (That was okay, though; her smile told me she understood everything I was not saying). I wanted to talk more, have another coffee with each and every old friend, stay swimming within these powerful and powerfully emotional eddies and currents.
An hour after doing yoga Aziah and Laudi came up and told me that everyone was looking for me. We went down and Craig played his factoid game. It was getting late and we were finishing setting our tents and meals. My group had miso soup and fried rice it was delicious.

Our first stop was San Jose. We arrived late at night, so after we checked into the Don Carlos and found our rooms, a group of us went to go find food. We ended up eating at a pretty fancy restaurant about a block away from the hotel. It was pretty expensive and it was late at night so we got a pizza to go, but this would be nothing like the other things we would eat. The next day we
The most fascinating thing about my section is that I got to comprehend how unique the main dishes are. Effort is put into each dish, not only trying to make it look pleasing but enjoyable. So much time is put into each and every dish. In this project, not only did I get to ascertain about the Mexican food, but I got to learn most of the culture about music and dance. So much patience and time are put into the food, all the ingredients are what spices up the food. In the culture of music and dance, dances are what symbolize Mexico’s unity and independence. The first challenge we encountered was not being able to manage a coordinating schedule. As a group working together is suppose to be accomplished outside class time which requires members to organize busy schedules in order to have meetings. In my perspective, I feel as if my group could have done a lot better by having numerous of meetings, instead of
