Flickr photo by: Hugo!The colors and textures of the Peruvian culture were wonderful. While there, we were able to see the Danza de las tijeras also known as the scissor dance. I couldn't help but think how it looked like the forerunner to "krumping".
Flickr photo by: Hugo!The dance is done with elaborate costumes and Keds tennis shoes!
The dancers do elaborate steps in unison, as well as facing off with extreme freestyle dancing showcaseing impressive moves all the while cutting the air with scissor in both hands.
Puts a whole new spin on Running with Scissors.
I am grateful for finding these great photos. The dance is so fast mine were just a blur.
