Blog Post 2-Dance Culture In Puerto Rico

​I decided to stay with my same question...Dance Culture in different parts of the world. I believe that my conversation will be smooth and they will jump right in about dance culture. I know that a lot of Spanish speaking countries are very influenced by the arts.

Name:Prisilla Nieves from Puerto Rico

Arlana:Hola!

Prisilla:Hola! Como estas?

Arlana:Bien y tu?

Prisilla:Bien

Arlana:Donde eres?

Prisilla:Soy del Norte de Puerto Rico. En la cuidad de Arecibo pero conocido en alguna parte como Camuy, Puerto Rico.

Arlana: Vale! Jaja

Arlana: Baile en Puerto Rico es gusta...

Prisilla:El baile mas tradicional en Puero Rico seria la Salsa. Aunque se origeno en otro lugar, Puerto Rico tiene muchos salseros y es uno de los bailes mas famosos en la isla.No me recuerdo del primer baile que aprendi, pero se que yo bailaba mucha bachata y reggaeton antes.Ahorra que apredi salsa, me gusta bailarlo. Y si voy a una fiesta, lo bailo. La gente aveces me preguntan de donde apredi eso. Y digo que aprendi como bailar salsa en Puerto Rico.


Arlana:Gracias de tu tiempo!

Prisilla:De nada.



Reflection:
I learned that my partner believes her culture for dance is traditional. They really appreciate salsa and that is like a very famous dance in Puerto Rico.I am proud I have gotten a first hand experience from someone who has lived in Puerto Rico and seen these type of traditions going on. I will ask more follow up questions.
