Extract 2
Enter five English tourists
Tourist 1
Wow, I didn't think Spain would be quite so hot. I'm melting.
Tourist 2
Me too.
Tourist 3
Shall we find something to do in a nicely air-conditioned room?
Tourist 4
I saw a poster for Flamenco dancing lessons.
Tourist 5
That sounds like fun. Shall we go?
All
Yes!
The children walk off stage and then come on again as if arriving at a new place. The dance instructor, dressed in traditional Spanish dress, enters.
Instructor
Welcome, my leetle Inglish friends. You want to learn the Flamenco, yes?
All
Yes, please!
Flamenco music starts, and the instructor starts to move around dramatically
Instructor
Feel the music, my leetle Inglish. Feel the rithim!
Tourist 1
What do we do?
Instructor
You don't do, you feel.
The children try to copy the instructor and get into all sorts of strange positions as they bump into each other and step on each other's toes
Tourist 2
What are we actually paying for?
Instructor
You pay to watch and learn from thee best!
Narrator
(Speaking as the children are still falling all over the place) Spain is one of the most recognisable countries in Europe and the Flamenco is its national dance.
Tourist 2
This is useless, and I'm hungry. Let's go and grab some tapas.
All
(They stop "dancing") Good idea!
