I would just like too say that for the first time i actaully saw a dance group that gave me chills at the end of the performance that was intense and you are all so young. I really enjoyed this performance as well as the duck walking i dont know the proper name for it i was blown away...and the little ones floored me you should be proud of your teacher and the discipline it took for you all to achieve at this level. It was A class performance in any routine Iv seen. Other perfomers watch out!!

[teriimataha]

you're right! This group is the BEST Tamarii group ever seen ;o))

[shakadakine]

its really nice to see such a young group have limitless talent... i love this ote'a

[fogefd]

Classic Marilou Ubaldo execution and all around fabulousness. Nice to see so many of her past and present students in what was a memorable experience. Marilou's talent is limitless. Can't wait to see what her new group brings.
