The Turtle Bailarina

~ a metaphor for the love of Dance and Life ~

Once upon a time in Colombia, SA, lived a very special turtle who danced every day and night. She danced in the theaters and parks so well! She always bought white shoes and her dresses were almost all pink and baby blue. Suddenly her feet got so tired from dancing. She couldn’t walk even a step because she was so exhausted.  However she kept dancing, even as it was painful, working so hard, not losing one minute of her life. Then one day the Turtle Bailarina became so sick and so sad because she couldn’t dance any more. Her sadness was so deep that she passed away.

Había una vez una tortuga que bailaba de día y de noche. En los teatros y los parques ella bailaba muy bien. Cuando compraba zapatos eran blancos y sus vestidos casi la mayoría eran rosados y azules. De pronto de tanto bailar se le cansaron los pies. No podía dar una paso más del cansancio que tenía pero ella seguía y seguía sin perder un minuto. Se puso enferma porque no podía bailar más y tan grande fue su tristeza que murió.

This performance is dedicated to Dorita Olarte de Barragan
who lived all her life for the love of DANCE.
