After having set the dancing floor on fire with their renditions of Salsa, Bachata and Zumba, the participants walked the ramp at 'Nnoni fashion walk' attired in sarees and lehengas and looking in every inch as Indian women,Zynthia, who partnered Gabriel in dance conclaves, as Colombian dance team said "Latin America and India are worlds apart.But our bond is one that is transnational and has evolved over time. We are a culture that has held dear the verses of Pablo Neruda and Lorca, been enchanted by the art of Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo".

"For instance here you can see true Indian dance forms - not the filmy Bollywood type - bhngra, chacha cha, in unadulterated form minus typical hip swaying and there is a magical connect with your dance and our salsa," a young Brazillian dancer said.
