Lidia is always a godess 🙂
Trying to arrange my schedule to join the festival. Will La Lucila exhibit all the days?
And there will be only orchestras, no DJs? I never danced like this! Will they also organize the music in tandas or not?
Thank you for sharing those great questions Marilia! We reached out to the organizers and asked them to respond 🙂
Hug, and let go,
the T.A.F. team
