A Colombian Dance Tour, Part III

After performances, sight-seeing, and soaking in the thermal hot spring of Manizales, we took a 2-hr. van ride to the even-smaller mountain town of Pereira.  He I am at the city-overlook with one of our Colombo-Americano coordinators, Lina.  Throughout the tour, the Colombo's staff in all of the cities we visited were knowledgeable, talented, and enthusiastic hosts who cared for all of our needs and the experience smooth and comfortable for all.

In Pereira, we did a children's dance workshop with a group of at-risk youth from a community of families displaced by violence in the Pacific-coast region of Chocó.  This small workshop was full of energy and Giles, and the other ACDT dancers, did an excellent job, as always, of helping them all feel like confident dancers.
