We walked past the quarry and climbed down tiny stone steps into a cave straight from the Flintstones: huge overhanging rocks, prehistoric looking plants reaching up to the ceiling, tiny winding paths and cubby holes.
When we got there the djs had just set up their decks and the kids dance off was about to start. All the kids piled onto a stone stage and started shaking their bootie to highly inappropriate rap and reggae. Then the acrobats bounded onstage and performed ridiculously complicated bendy tricks followed by the lead acrobat eating fire and putting blazing torches down his trousers. All in all a decent show.
After the acrobats the kids broke out their dance moves again and we joined in, we danced for hours. I've been back almost every Sunday since, its amazing. It's a youth club for the young kids and teenagers in the village, the older acrobats train the younger ones to do their act so they have something to fill their time thats also feasibly a way of making money. The little boys are always training, they're almost as good as the adults now. It's really cool to see local projects helping eachother out.
