Afrocuban Dances

Shango represents the masculine force and temperament and Oshun is the female beauty and intuition. Even though they are quite different in their character, they attract each other. She likes to flirt with him. She loves to laugh while she is dancing. He is more aggressive in his movements. He likes to show his virility.

Lines all over...

Dancing one more time becomes the main subject in my photos.  This time I focused my lens on the body  lines  of the dancers as well as the gestures. Every time I shoot dancers become a challenge due to all rhythms don't have the same cadency. But since I love music is always a great combination of shooting and enjoying the beat and the movements of the dancers. The funny thing is that when I finish the shooting and start editing my photos is when I realize how I focused on the lines this time. There were not a predominant color this time as the last series Red Movement ; this time the colors came to a second role even though the white was present in almost all presentations. Some of the choreographs showed dramatic faces and gestures but others came full of spicy flavor.
