Nashville, TN

Our time on tour in Nashville, TN was such a great experience: from exploring the musical culture, to tasting the cuisine, to performing for local kids. All three shows in Nashville were for local schools, and at each show we had between 500-1000 students from 5th grade through college. We put together a show geared specifically for a generally younger audience, and I think the change was fun for both us, as performers, and our audience. There was a lot of comedy in the show, which enabled us to really engage with the kids. We had "talkbacks" after each show, during which the students were free to ask Eduardo and the dancers any questions they had about the performance, or what the life of the dancer is like. One student asked Bobby how we get so strong. I'm not sure how he does it, but speaking as one of his partners, I'm sure grateful.
