You know how sometimes you get those lovely performances where everything just feels right – and you don’t know how or why, but it’s a great experience when it happens?

This was one of those nights.

A beautiful evening on Wellington’s waterfront, at one of Wellington’s newer events, the Lantern Festival. Dressed in our beautiful CubaDupa 2019 costumes, our drummers and dancers had a fantastic time performing for the crowd. And there were some tiny people in the crowd who had a pretty fantastic time dancing with us, too!
