One of the most interesting representations of a country’s culture is its dance. It doesn’t only aim to entertain the audience, but it also brings out the sense of patriotism of the dancers.The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is a country located on the northern coast of South America that is rich in cultures influenced by three main groups namely the Indigenous Venezuelans, the Africans, and the Spanish.
The Joropo is a musical style that’s almost similar to the fandango. It is an accompanying dance that is now Venezuala’s national dance.Even the kids in the country know how to dance the Joropo at such a young age.A pair of 3-year-olds joined a local dance competition where they stood in a stadium filled with hundreds of people.The little kids bowed to the judges and started dancing as soon as they heard the song.Their routine is mainly composed of the little girl spinning around under her partner’s arm, and the both of them twirling across the floor.
The little kids demonstrated a really strong sense of rhythm as they moved their feet rapidly to the music.There are lots of ways to keep a country’s culture alive throughout generations, and passing it on to young ones is one of them.Watch the 3-year-olds’ amazing Joropo routine in the video below.
