‘Rough’ translation!

On Saturday the 13th of February during the Hogar del Niño dinner/dance at the La Romana Country Club a ‘comparsa de carnaval’ show will take place and we need YOU to take part!

A ‘comparsa de carnaval’ essentially means part of a carnaval parade and in this case will be a choreographed parade/dance to be performed at the La Romana Country Club in front of the guests attending the dinner.

All costumes for the show/parade will be provided and are the ‘Los Toros de Fantasia’ costumes used in the ‘Carnaval General’ which took place in Santo Domingo last year – the photos above are of these costumes!

The ‘parade’ will be directed/choreographed by famous choreographer Oscar Grullon from Santiago de los Caballeros.

To take part in the parade you must attend ALL practice sessions. Practice sessions start TOMORROW, Thursday 4th of February, and will also take place on Tuesday the 9th and Thursday the 11th. Practice sessions are from 4pm-6pm in the Casa de la Cultura, on the Francisco Richiez Doucudray street (the road leading to Iberia).

To take part you must:

  • enjoy dancing and having fun (wear sneakers!)
  • be more than 16 years old

Places are limited, to reserve your space or for more details call: Susana Joa 809-307-2729 Email: kilate01@hotmail.com, or if you don’t speak Spanish, email: info@casadecampoliving.com

We look forward to seeing you there!!
