Diwali ball at Dusit Thani

I don't know exactly how it all happened, but some time back in spring the ladies - me included - in my Bollywood Zumba class got persuaded by the lovely Vandana that it would be a great idea to perform at the annual Diwali ball in September. That sounded really far away and thus kinda great. The closer we got however, the more unconsidered the decision felt... Until then, when the big day came, we had so much fun!
Kids performed as well and were the true stars of the evening. So brave - the audience were about 800 prominent, mainly Indian, guests, all dressed up and showing off their beautiful traditional clothes. And ah, the food!

Ladies team: Mei, Smita, Maripa, Manisha, me, Liz, Marianne, Vandana, Sherazade.

Ortigas Kids group. Kai with Alex, Zach, Faizaan, Shayan, Ella, Gwen, Ved, Mikael and all the rest.

And here I am trying to upload the videos of our dances, but without success. The cool gran finale can be seen HERE though.
