With reading all of commments, I have to agree with roskater, in some aspect. MusicCam 85, you have to understand that this dance is a tradition sacred dance. As an example, would you go and dance with the Native's to there pow wow and have someone is the background laughing? I think this is why roskater was offend. I am glad that you had fun, but at the same time, it seems that your were poking at our culture.

p.s please excuse my grammar or my run sentences.lol

I am willing to apologize; however, if this dance is so sacred that these people would be offended at my light-hearted participation, maybe they should reserve this celebration for some place that isn't right next to a cruise ship. They came and danced here in order to make money, thus reducing the cultural significance of the dancing. It may be sacred to some in their culture, but these people apparently don't take this dance as seriously as you do. One of them even danced WITH me!

I'm sorry you dread us, but what would your economy be like without the tourism industry? It stinks because you've brought out the worst in me, but I'm actually a very loving person. Before you lump me in as a "typical american", remember that you started this convo by insulting me. I've been wrong many times in my life, but the most effective way I've been righted is with love, not hatred and harsh words.

[MusicCam85]

I'm not sure where you're getting this "walking behind them", "dancing behind him" stuff, because I went out to dance with the lady in the pink (that you see me dancing with) and I danced with her, not behind her. However, if I did offend her then I do feel bad because that wasn't my intent. Funny how you ignored everthing I said in my first response--now who's being blind to themself?

p.s. Your whole response was a run-on sentence. That doesn't lend much credibility.

what a moron, I live in roatan and we love it when the cruise ship people act like this making it so tough for americans here trying to build relationships, act like a dick somewhere else.

[MusicCam85]

I was just having fun. A word to the wise: if you were genuinely concerned about building relationships, you wouldn't call people names and treat them with such disrespect. I think calling me a "dick" hurts relations more than me dancing with one of your natives. I've been to Moramulca and Tegucilgalpa on missions trips, and my family has actually done a lot to build relationships with native Hondurans. I appreciate your concern for your people though.

Es normal!! a los Hondureños nos gusta ver que los extranjeros disfruten de nuestra musica y no creo que MusicCam85 halla tratado de burlarse de este genero musical hondureño, Thanks for visit our country is your country too.

But the visitors should come more inside in the country, please visit the next video: La cima del san cristobal, Danli, Honduras.

[princessesthersita]

No No! My family is from Honduras and we always laugh when dancing to this dance and it's totally normal to see someone dancing to something they are not used and laugh about it.....There is absolutely no offense on this! I love this I would do the same thing if I went there and I'm sure my cousins would be laughing at me not at the actual person you know. It's amazing to see different cultural come together and have fun with one another I love this dance its a fun one
