In a dance show, we get carried away by performers expressing their emotions through movements rather than words. The talented groups nominated have brought a lot of beauty to our town.

CCDC impressive dance piece got its inspiration from classic masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude by Nobel literature prize winner Gabriel García Márquez's.
