“The dancers were excellent in communicating… a breathtaking description of Philippine History. The performance was extremely nostalgic as well as culturally stimulating. They brought with them a festive feel for the culture which was experienced by the audience… which ended in a standing ovation. We will welcome them back to California over and over again throughout the years. You will not be disappointed.”
