Balé Folclórico da Bahia. "The state of Bahia is the heart and soul of Brazil and the epicenter of Afro-Brazilian rhythms. Balé Folclórico da Bahia’s 38 dancers, musicians and singers are internationally renowned for their boundless energy, brilliant costumes, explosive drumming and exuberant dancing." I went to one of their performances--at the entrance, people were handing out earplugs because it was going to be loud. You bet: drums amplified by amps and microphones. The dancing was extremely energetic and the dancers even jumped off the stage and got audience members dancing in the aisles. Even though I was sitting in the second row, I remained stolidly in my seat--I'm terribly self-conscious when it comes to these things. Some sequences were wonderfully acrobatic and ethnically flavorful. Other sequences were obviously influenced by Modern Dance. I don't understand Modern Dance--which to me looks as mechanical as step aerobics.
Here's one result I saw on someone's blog: "You are DNA. You're a smart person, and you appear incredibly complex to people who don't know you. You're incomparably full of information, and most of it is useless."
Comment: No, no, no! Most of it isn't useless. You only call it useless because you don't know what it does.
My result: You are water. You're not really organic; you're neither acidic nor basic, yet you're an acid and a base at the same time. You're strong willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready to flow. So while you often seem worthless, without you, everything would just not work. People should definitely drink more of you every day.
Comment: Seems worthless? I certainly feel that way at times.
