(This gallery\u2019s title is related to the Cuban saying \u201cBailar en casa del trompo<\/em>\u201d that suggest not to challenge an expert in his own territory. Also, when you play the spinning-top its movement seems like a dance, that\u2019s why here in Cuba we say that a skillful dancer is like a spinning-top.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

One could go dancing to the house of the spinning-top, if the spinning-top had a house or if one did not disturb at his own. In the end, there is only one park, in the shade of some trees and at the edge of a church.<\/p>\n

In the city, both cement and asphalt limit the spaces to “release the cord” and even to this paradise, shaped like a garden, boys of all ages come from the blocks around.<\/p>\n

Is that, further to space, one only needs a small plastic or wooden spinnig-top, with a metal spike, to play and a cord with a plastic bottle cap tied at the end.<\/p>\n

So far, La Caridad Square, in Camag\u00fcey, is, for some, the house of the spinning-top, until the players are forced to move for disturbing those connected in the Wi-Fi or when the kites\u2019 season finally arrives.<\/p>\n
