3 DAYS TO GO!

I'm feeling anxious about the presentations for the Kalayaan 2008 celebration already. I hope all will fall in place. And I will surely kick ass if it won't fall into plan, and whoever may disrupt this will face something terrible, rather will have a terrible face after. lol.

Final Photos for the Souvenir Magazine.

SAYAW SA BANGA

Lola Nelly, I hope you'll remember the "Maiba Taya" movement/sequence on the presentation day.

GAWAY-GAWAY


(Ladies L-R: Ellen. Shiela. Bing. Kathy. Salve. Sheryl. Gentlemen L-R: Dennis. JR. Allan. Cocoy. Doy. Bob.)
Our signature dance. Rural dances really amuses me. I just hope our performers will smile their hearts out while dancing this repertoire.

SINGKIL


(L-R: Shiela. Dennis. Doy. Lotlot. Sheryl. Nelly. Allan. JR.)
We (me, Shiela and Sheryl) just finished the dance steps for this royal dance yesterday. I hope we still have the enthusiasm and fervor to dance our feet off on the day of judgment. lol. We're all in this together, guys!

DAKILANG LAHI


(L-R: Sheryl. JR. Shiela. Anjofel. Dennis. Lotlot.)
Dance of a lifetime. Let's jazz while we still can. We can never have flexible spines for long. Be enthralled with this song and dance number on Kalayaan 2008.

Hope all goes well! Performance level rehearsals. Let's dance!

KALAYAAN 2008 - Dress Rehearsal/Pictorial

Kalayaan 2008, here in Abuja, is 100% (without prior interruption of whatsoever sort) pushing through. YAHOO! At least, all our efforts and time are not wasted into nothing-ness. Here are some of the costumes we are going to use for the dances we have prepared. The descriptions of these dances are highlighted on my previous post.


SAYAW SA BANGA (Cordillera Suite)



GAWAY-GAWAY (Barrio Fiesta Suite)

And for the Contemporary Philippines presentation, we have prepared Dakilang Lahi popularized by Ciarra Sotto as the song to interpret. Below are the performers.

SAYAWIT- Dancers




The celebration will hold on 13 June 2008 at Congress Hall, Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja. Some of the invitations will be dessiminated next week. Hope all goes well! Can't wait for the date!
