Well I've always wanted to dance in the rain...and I finally did it! Ok so it wasn't in the pouring Indian Monsoon, in a beautiful landscape with an elegant dupatta...but I'm not complaining! It felt like a cinematic moment for me anyway...
It was Colchester Free Festival, Saturday 24th August. Saturday was the one rainy day. Typical - sunny every other day, but the heavens opened on Saturday! It was a shame, but luckily the rain hit after lunchtime so there was plenty of time for dancing.
After assembling the easiest pop-up-gazebo in the world (in 5 minutes!) and tying up a few bits of deco here and there with the help of my dad, it was time for the dancing to begin - and boy did I dance...! The workshops were non-stop; it seemed like everybody wanted a bit of Bollywood in their lives :D
And there was no stopping when the rain came down. My mum and sister joined the group and we created the Disco Tent..."shelter from the rain...as long as you dance!".
What a great day; met some lovely people and was surprised as ever with the talent of the little people (some were only 2 years old!). Bring on next year! (although my photo in the gazette could be a little more flattering then I hope)... :D
