field trip

last night i took my 7th grade spanish class out to see danza contemporánea de cuba at the joyce. we had to leave before the last piece because there was some partial nudity in it. a shame, because i went back in after all my students got picked up and it was the best dance of the evening. not to mention the fact that my students had seen sulkary (first dance of the evening...from the 70s) and while the dancers were clothed during that one, it was so provocative, that a little nipple seemed like no big deal in comparison. despite missing the last dance i think the kids really enjoyed themselves. i liked doing something special/fun with the group. they are awesome kids. i also (like every time i go see a show) forgot how much i love dance.
