That’s Costa Rican Senior Adults! And most love to dance, but to “their kind of music” and not what the young people have today.
So . . . on my way to pick up a package at Aeropost in Alajuela today I walk by a happy and lively Central Park Alajuela with a Marimba Band playing “their kind of music!” A few cell phone snapshots and I move on for my package and a Tex Mex lunch at Jalopeños Central. As I rushed by the park at 2:20 for my 2:30 bus the music and dancing was still going on! Pura Vida!
It is at the same place I photographed some young people break dancing a month or two ago. 🙂

¡Pura vida!
Looks like good entertainment and healthy exercise,.
Yeh Kathy, guess I need to take up dancing too! 🙂
I’m looking for “oldies” dance music from the 50s and 60s. That said, I am so wishing to find some dancing from that era like the sock hops. Thanks. Sheila.
Sheila, sometimes finding things like that just end up being a serendipty, they just happen somewhere around us. Atenas and most CR towns will get back to more regular dancing in the parks once Covid has passed. Its just been a rare thing having a pandemic this long.
Hang in there!
