[hwchoy]

quite a lot of style and depending also on whether there is a long "tail" which is designed to be flicked around as they dance. these dresses are called bata de cola.

one leg up one leg down is dancing wad.

If that is the definition....then all people including the "Dogs" are dancers!

[evershine]

There are more than enough shots for the dancers.. photographers in action deserve to be shot at times.... evidence of our hardwork, dedication and professionalism...

furthermore, there were no dancer at that point in time... no dancer infront of you or behind you.

Please post some of your shots leh.. 1dmkIII + prime L lens, really swee...
