If I could sum up those amazing 4 days and 3 nights of workshops and social dancing I've recently attended in Boracay Island, this would be it!
A month ago, at the onset of my physical and emotional recovery from an injury and the loss of my pet cat, I decided to push through with going to my first-ever dance festival for this year 2023. I needed some time out from the "down-spiraling" of my life. It would also be a shame to waste the airfare and event ticket which I'd already purchased back then. This time around I was with a few bunches of friends. The more, the merrier!
I promised myself not to dance because of the said injury although my doctor didn't stop me from doing, only to be just careful and not exert too much so I opted to work on shooting videos of the event but my itchy feet couldn't hold back. I danced during socials but exempted myself from the workshops except for a few that I wanted to learn so badly and that was Tarraxo and Zouk.
Will be writing more about this trip/event sometime in the future but this video already tells you so much about how epic this event was and how much fun I enjoyed dancing and shooting. There were several artists and dance enthusiasts who attended from other places here in the Phlippines and from other countries so it was a great opportunity to make new connections in the Afro-latin dance community.
Again, I'm no pro and I'm only using my Go Pro 9 for taking videos which already did a decent job. My only challenge was shooting in low light so I brought with me a portable LED light that I used. At first, I felt awkward carrying it but for the love of taking and editing dance videos. Then why not?
Anyways, I gathered way too many videos and didn't realize how tedious it is to go through each file one by one but I had to so I can produce this shortened version of what transpired during this fun event. I guess it took me about 5 days just to finish this so please enjoy watching till the end! Let me know your thoughts!
Love,
Clara

Dancing is something so much important! It's a form of movement (sure) but it's a way to find harmony and it's an innate way of awakening also love forces inside our being!
Keep it up with this great choice!
Wow you did so well with the video. The editing is almost like a pro. Great job 👏
Yay! Thank you so much @thisisnativeboy
And definitely you never disappoint me dear friend, your publications always reach an incredible level and are really quite admirable, everything you lived was amazing, I'm glad you had a great time and that you have shared with us this great experience that through your video we lived it with you, a great greeting and great publication ❤️
@d-rock Always a pleasure to hear your kind words of my dance videos! always melt my heart. Do you also have dance festival in your country? Have you attended one too?
I guess if there are festivals but in the center of the country osea in Caracas, here where I live there are not many, although I have attended events where they dance some genres, but none as exotic as this ... I am very happy to see your content and whenever I can comment, a greeting <3
What an incredible job you did, the community of Guarenas Flow loved your way of recording and editing, congratulations.
I loved this video, it really was wonderfully amazing. How great how the latin caribbean makes life in Philipinas, what an incredible experience you have lived.
Dancing is a good thing by adjusting and following the music and it will be delicious and good for health
Not only that, dancing also makes the day happier, especially dancing while enjoying your nice day
I thank you very much for taking the time to edit this video and share it in the Community, you can't imagine how much I want to attend a Dance Festival, it is a dream I hope to fulfill soon, and your video motivated me even more to continue working hard to achieve it... everything looks beautiful and I imagine you enjoyed it to the fullest! I hope you finish recovering soon from your injury so you can resume your classes and dance a lot again, I send you the best energies for that to happen. A hug, nice Clara❤️
Pd: the amazing background song, by the way, quite in line with everything, good choice!
