Good experience!

In every two years, there will be "International Youth Dance Festival" held in july. It's a 5-days event. Many different dance groups from different countries will gather in Macau to perform and having workshops. Of course, Macau's dance groups will also participate in this big event for all the dancers. However, not all the groups can join due to the limit of groups. Luckily, our dance school joined for 2 times and everyone enjoyed a lot on both performance and workshops! Unfortunately, we didn't organize any workshop for other countries' groups but I joined the japanese dance workshop with some of my friends. It was so fun and we learned some basic steps of japanese dance. Besides workshops, there's outdoor performance and indoor performance. We always had indoor performance because its hard to dance outdoor wearing ballet pointe shoes and it's not good for the shoes as well. We also have a dinner with all the groups on the first and last day, Macau city tour for other countries and a farewell party on the last day. Even though it was just 5 days of living together in the same place, some of us cried when we had to say goodbye to thrm because we never know if we will meet each other after 2 years or not. In our school's situation, we were so close to the japanese group and on the last day, they told us they will not have a chance to come again, therefore we talked a lot and shared our email address.
