Last night we had the privilege of attending a dance festival at the athletic stadium in Vilnius, Lithuania. The festival celebrated the 1000th anniversary of the founding of Lithuania. It was extraordinary in its scope: we were told that there were 7000 dancers from all over the country performing traditional dances, and there were about 20,000 spectators. Here are two photos from the very end of the event, showing the exhilaration of the occasion.
