IDENE Carnaval

Here are pictures and a video from our school’s Carnaval celebration in March. Carnaval at my school was a culture celebration of the past and present in the DR. Each classroom presented something different. One classroom dressed up and did a traditional dance, another class dressed as Tainos and presented different items and foods of the indigenous culture, and another class dressed in typical campo dress and danced. Obviously this was a different type of celebration, not like the modern Dominican Carnaval in the larger cities. But rest assured, we had just as much dancing! Check out the video for proof on that last part. 

Vida Practica class with the Campo display
A from 1ro y 2do class with the Customs and Traditions display
Baja Audicion class and Pre-Primaria class with the Taino display
Alena, C and I
And yes, for those who recognize the video song, thats all the students at school dancing to El Teke Teke. :)
