ReplyDeleteTHE DANCES TOOK PLACE SOME WHERE AT A PARK WHERE ITS EMPTY AND ALOT OF ROOM FOR THEM TO DANCE AROUND. THE SPACE HELPS THEM GET PEOPLE TO WATCH THEM DANCE. ITS LARGE ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE TO MOVE AROUND. THEY KEEP MOVING BACK AND FORWARD MULTIPUL TIMES. THEY HAVE ON THERE PUNCHOS AND IT LLOK AS IF ITS COLD. IT HAS LOTS OF TREES AND FOREST LIKE. THEY DANCE IN PARTNERS THEY MOVE THEIR FEET FAST AND THEN THEY MOVE THIER FEET SLOW. THE GIRLS BE WIH THE GIRLS FOR ONE MOMENT AND THE BOYS BE WITH THE BOYS.
