Looking forward to this! A couple of my young students from Soaring Steps will be performing a traditional Colombian Cumbia dance! I look forward to seeing you all there... all Flikr members are invited to submit pictures of young dancers in this public group!

I'm looking to hook up with photographers and taking some night shots. I'm thinking of starting around 9:00PM and going for 3 hours or so. Meeting location to be determined and will posted by Friday.
shanan, I don't think I will be there as *late* as 3:00AM - can you come earlier? :-)
