  • Ceci has to wear high heels as part of her attire on a daily basis.  Her feet suffer after hours of straight dancing day after day.  Ceci is 20 years old and has been dancing tango since the age of 11.  Her life and passion swirl around the sensual tango dance on the streets of El Caminito in Buenos Aires.  Here, she earns tips from tourists who watch her twirl and kick while they eat their meals.  Ceci's passion was handed down from her grandparents who started taking her to Milongas at a young age.  She tries to balance her work with her university, but most of her energy goes to dancing.  Here is a slice of the life of a tango dancer in the streets of Buenos Aires.

  • This type of offering is left during the celebrations around the crops in the fields.  This will assure them a good harvest during the year. February is the month dedicated to the Uncle, or devil,  in the mining town of Oruro, and also to the Virgin of the Cave (Virgen del Socavon). Dancers, from all around the state, come to Oruro and flood its streets.  The “Diablada of Oruro” is much more than a popular celebration during carnival. It is a dance dedicated to the misunderstood  devil, or the Uncle, who lives in the guts of Pachamama or mother Earth.  The miners say the Uncle is like a friend that protects them from any accident and helps them find their minerals.  The dancers dance for many hours through out the city and finally get to the church of el Socavon where they get on their knees to offer their dance to the virgin.
