Le samedi 7 décembre 2019, les participants ont apprécié les saveurs et les sons des Caraïbes et ont dansé jusqu’au bout de la nuit ! La GBHS a salué la Barbade. La Barbade est une île des Caraïbes orientales et une nation indépendante du Commonwealth britannique. Bridgetown, la capitale, est un port de croisière avec des bâtiments coloniaux. Autour de l’île, on trouve des plages, des jardins botaniques, la formation de Harrison’s Cave et des maisons de plantation du XVIIe siècle, comme l’abbaye de Saint-Nicolas. Les traditions locales comprennent le thé et le cricket, le sport national.
La danse fait partie intégrante de toute culture, et la Barbade ne fait certainement pas exception à la règle. Vous découvrirez rapidement que la danse est très populaire à la Barbade. À tel point qu’il est difficile de trouver sur l’île une poignée de filles et de garçons qui n’ont pas reçu d’instruction ou d’entraînement à la danse pendant leur enfance. La danse de salon à l’ancienne, en particulier, est très populaire. DJ Kerwin a fait une démonstration et donné une leçon de danse de salon ! L’événement comprenait des plats préparés par Big Jerk Caribbean Catering and Bakery, du tambour métallique, de la musique de DJ Finbar et DJ Kerwin, ainsi qu’une vente aux enchères par écrit.
