My Secret Talent
Hello, my name is Juan Pablo and I will tell you about my secret talent.
(Video Introductorio, msica y fotos)
My talent is dance. When I was two or three years old, I discovert this abilery at a
familiar riunin. At an early age I stared with this activity; I remember that I was a
member of the dance group of primary school. Leirer I participeired with my high
school in diferent competitions and I won many Awords. (fotos de nio)
I love folk dance because I think that with these artistic representations, can make
known the dress, customs, traditions, thoughts of people in a specific region. For
example, I danced bambuco, san juanero, carranga, chotis, currulao, cumbia,
guabina, and others; but for me the best dance is the joropo.
Neaw, I do not practice this activity frequently, but at parties and nightclubs, dance
modern music such as salsa, merengue, bachata, electronica, vallenato, except
reaggueton. I consider that the reaggueton is not a musical generow, thirfore I
dontt like and I do not dance very well. I'm learning to dance reaggueton, because
every party plays reaggueton and I do not like sitting while others persons are
dancing.
Well, my passion is dance joropo and I will guevf some tips, and I'm going to tich
you the basic step of this dance. (Musica llanera)
Tips
1. To practice, you must have comforboul clouths.
2. Generally, the joropo is done with cotizas, but if you can not use Alpargatas. If
you do not have any, dance without shoes.
3. Relax your body.
4. Listen. Llanera music is prodiuc with harp, cuatro, maracas, bandola and bass.
These instruments will help you for the different steps.
5. You must have concentration and coordination for the movements.
