This picture is before the start of our performance (from the event held last Friday, June 17th). Thank you for the spectators waiving hand behind us!
We had a great time with all of you dancing together and viewing the unforgettable beautiful scenery from Outlook Hill on Governors Island!
The clear sky and nice breeze was really fortunate for our event. Your big applause and the cheer was really encouraging for us. Thank you for coming to see our show. We hope to see you next year again!
