I think am too excited.. hehehe this is one of the Festivals that I wouldnt mind shooting and over and over and over.. why? because the dances are unique and the execution is done in a way that each sequence is not repeated so the whole dance is a fresh experience for anyone watching..
We brought a team of 15 to Cebu last year.. how many people can we bring to Iloilo this year? so far we have 4 confirmed people.. how many more are coming? i dont know.. hopefully we beat the 15 participants from Cebu.. Team Panay is there to help us out so am sure we are going to have a blast in dinagyang 2008!
I will be updating the schedule of activites here for the Dinagayang 2008 please com back and check this from time to time! But for now all you have to do is mark your calendars The Dinagayang is the last weekend of January.. a week after the Sinulog in Cebu and the Atiatihan in Aklan.
