UNIFÉ

Today was our first day at la Universidad Femenina del Seguridad Corazon (UNIFÉ), a private women's college in Lima. At UNIFÉ, we will be helping students studying English/Spanish translation as well as taking a culture class with one of the college's professors. Much like the Air Force school, we were greeted with a welcome ceremony and traditional dances such as La Marinera del Norte. FUN FACT: my host mom won a national Marinera competition last year! After each performance, the dancers made their way to the audience and pulled students up on stage. My favorite part was when the lead hombre in La Marinera grabbed my roommate Ally to teach her a few moves. La Marinera is a very sensual dance so it was pretty silly to watch my classmates attempt to move in a similar manner to the peruvians.
