Festival de Danza (Festival of Dance) La Salle (My School) en el Mundo (In the World). What an incredible experience I was able to partake in. Three exhilarating and terrifying nights of dancing a traditional Columbia Caribbean Dance (Cumbia) with my fellow classmates and friends in front of 3000 people. It is so amazing to have witnessed all the classes in my school, (kindergarten to Gr 12) dancing different traditional dances from all around the world for family, friends and the citizens of Tarija. I am so blessed to have shared this experience and I am so thankful for my many friends who helped me learn the dance and remind me when practices where.
