The last day was the most fun, though there were fewer performances,the socials were absolutely rocking. Of the performances I really loved the performance of a Delhi based group called “Big Dance Centre”. They were awesome!!! Lourd should really hunt for such talented artists and give them a platform at IISC-2010.

There were lot of perfromances which were repeated.Somehow the repetition must have been unavoidable as all 3 days there were different audience.

The 2nd day was much grander and the quality of the whole event was raised by several notches. Since the event was in the city, at “The Lalit”, the place was packed with people maybe 1200 or so.

It started about an hour an half late, and lasted for more than 2 hours. So by the time it ended I was tired and had no energy to go to Clarks exotica for socials. (which I heard rumors that the party was forced to close down at 12 am).

Here are some video’s of the performances.To check for pics click here http://bit.ly/44ztkX

The Salsa congress at bangalore is one event I look forward every year, missed the last 2 year, so made sure I turn up at bangalore no matter what. I landed up at Clarks Exotica,a place which is tucked away on the outskirts on bangalore, that even the seasoned rickshalwallas here don’t know about its existence,may be that’s the reason its exotic, but a perfect place to be once there, nice ambience and just the right kind of anonymity for a Salsa congress, incidentally the rooms were all booked, so my guess is the IISC-09 is a success as far as visitors are concerned.
