V is for vivacity

The first entertainment we ran into at the Love our Lake Day was this Afro-Puerto Rican dance troupe at the lake's pergola.  The dancers interact with the drummers and move based on the drums rhythms and accents.  All this while the drummers and other dancers chant a song.  It was fascinating.

For the "aww" factor we have the following shot:
She couldn't have been more than 5 years old.  Yet she knew what she was doing.  Like her mama, she made eye contact with the drummers and followed their lead in how and when she swirled or shook her skirts.  The crowd loved her.  Linked to ABC Wednesday.
