Peruvians know how to have a good time.

End of Story.

One thing that I do alot here, that I rarely did in the US is dance. Well, dance with a group of people. Dancing alone in your room as you get ready in the morning does not count.
I love to dance though, and one more reason that Peruvian culture fits me like a glove is our shared love of the baile.

Weddings, Birthday Parties, Baptisms, National Holidays, Monday nights, you name it. Any time is a good time to dance in Peru.

So what did I and two of my favorite amigas do last night? We danced.

There's a (relatively) new Discoteca in town called AMA. Normally I would not go because of the steep cover charge, but my friend Ivka gave us free passes, so of course we couldn't pass it up. The locale was nice, though ridiculously smoky, and the music was great, and then came a peruvian custom that I luurrrrved.

La Hora Loca.

Yep. The Crazy Hour.

As described by the events group Santiago who you can contract for your next Peruvian party:

"EL SHOW DE LA HORA LOCA full fun without end! Hora loca is the height of fun in every type of party, wedding receptions, quinceañeros, anniversaries, birthday parties, business events...in other words, where there is a celebration, there's the Hora Loca Show that will turn your party (big or small) into an unforgettable Super Party!

Guests will be surprised with a carnival of joy when colorful characters on Stilts, Clowns, Mimes Harlequins, Dancers, and more appear at the moment least expected, throwing confetti, passing out noisemakers, masks, balloon hats, and more!"

Here's a visual if you still just can't quite picture it. La Hora Loca Video

In La Hora Loca, there's a non-stop mix of music that has every type of genre imaginable. Last night, it started with a giant Balloon Drop that began when the music started for Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling" and then went everywhere from YMCA to a mashup from Grease, to Reggaeton to a lot more mixed in there. Balloons were passed out, clowns were dancing on stilts, and just like at any good Peruvian party, a fun time was had by all.
