Dance performances... I love dance performances and I remember once when the Ballet Carmen of Santiago city was here and I was waiting since very early to watch them. Then, when they started to dance, it was like a magic moment for me, and I couldn`t stop imagining that I was dancing in the play!. A few days ago was the International dance Day and it was celebrated at the Municipal Theatre with a variety of performances represented by the artistic Iquique School “ Escuela Violeta Parra” and it was wonderful. Furthermore, the Latin American “Bafona Company” is coming, and soon we`ll have different activities in September in order to celebrate “las fiestas patrias.”

Last week was International Photography Day and there was a particular band playing a tribute to the spelling progresive rock band “Pink Floid”, with the participation of different authors of the city that made their expositions in the theater.
