Crowded Halls Cheering Crowds

The Barbados IndepenDANCE FESTival is the toddler in the family of local festivals, but if the crowds and fans keep feeding it with the kind of support just witnessed over the last five nights, then ladies and gentlemen we have a giant in the making. Twenty community based dance groups from around the country showed off their danced skills to judges, fans and the capacity audiences that came out to participate in the Zone Finals of this, the third year's Dance Fest.

Thursday 6th November was the beginning of an action packed mini-week. The Eastern Zone ran first and although only two groups performed, a blazing platform was set for those that followed. Dance genres ranged from African to fusions of modern and hip hop, group sizes from two to 30. Those attending witnessed genuine effort displayed by most performers, and all will agree that the Independance Fest is earning it's place as a must see Independence event.

Comment if you were at any of the Zone Finals lets hear what you think. Now here's a photo look at some of the action. I have included some short video clips which you may downloaded. Over the next few days I will be reviewing each final, and in the weeks to follow, present to you

those who work tirelessly to bring this festival to our communities.
