International Festival at Chapel School in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Yesterday I attended the International Festival at Chapel School in Sao Paulo. What a fantastic event! This festival is to celebrate the diversity at the school and for students to share information about their culture by performing traditional dances, playing music and serving typical foods from their country.
Hundreds of students, parents, teachers, allumni and visitors participated in the celebration. I look forward to when Quest holds an event like this!!!
Here are some pictures of the day...
The last country to perform was Brazil. The energy of the Samba was electric. Everyone in the hall was dancing!!!

Aren't traditional Brazilian dances Samba and Rhumba?
Rhumba, come to think of it, is a Caribbean traditional dance...
Frankly, I've always wanted to visit Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and participate in this HUGE, once-in-a-year Festival! It's an event like no other, so I tend to think about Brazilians as "people on fire". Aren't they "contagious"?
