IBDI 3rd Term Student Party 2012

IBDI held their 3rd Term Student Party on August 23 at the Palladium. For a buck, the students got to dance to the good music from the collection of George Suetsugu., and savor the delicious bento of breaded boneless chicken, and breaded fish over a bed of rice and topped with an Okinawa donut. General dancing went on till about 7:45. Then Dance Director Steven Sambrano. took to the mike to start the program.

3rd Term students who took to learning the International Rumba, American Foxtrot, International Waltz, West Coast Swing, International Tango, and the International Cha Cha were called to demonstrate their new  learned skills, respectedly. Prizes were given to the students who remained on the dance floor for all six dances, 5 dances, 4 dances, 3 dances, 2 dances, and one dance. The more the dances, the more the value of the prizes.

It was also a night for the students to see a demonstration of the dances that will be offered for the 4th Term. Guest Instructors Ed Ho and Veronica Munez were first to demonstrate the BACHATA. It was announced that the dance originated in the Dominican Republic and both dancers danced very well to the delight of the audience.
