Bachata Cabaret World Latin Dance champions Andrea & Silvia from Italy had come for the first IDF. This year they will be back with their team Extravaganza.
Fifteen international artistes, a couple of international DJs, three nights of spectacular shows and crazy after-parties — that, in a nutshell, is what awaits you at the International Dance Fiesta Season 3, with t2, from December 18 to 20, at CC&FC.
Forty artistes from Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Goa, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Chennai and Calcutta will share the stage with international dancers for a series of productions. A party on the cruise liner M.V. Paramhamsa will mark the grand finale on December 20.
Workshops are a big draw at all IDFs. “You come for the festival, like one dance style and get 15 hours of dance training,” said Sovit Biswal, one of the organisers. Special workshops for kids will be held from December 17 to 19 at Dalhousie Institute. “It is more about bringing kids out of their world of laptops and tablets, and making them realise what they can do,” said Arindam Mukherjee, one of the organisers.
