Teatro de Madrid

On Friday our program had a special outing to the Teatro de Madrid. We arrived 2 minutes late so the usher just sat our group in the back, but during intermission we moved to our real seats which were in the 2nd row. We were entertained with the Ballet Folclorico. The group performed traditional dances from different regions in Spain including the most famous... the Flamenco. It was intersting to see the variety of dances. My favorite was the bagpipes, which I did not know that the Spanish played. The show lasted a bit longer than we anticipated... 3 hours. However it was an enjoyable experience of the culture.
