The event is really cool, I liked that there were a projector during the event where it explains the event while it is happening. The best is to come 45 minutes earlier and read the posters on the wall there so you can have more deep understanding about the event.

We were supposed to meet at a meeting point 15 minutes before the event taking place at Hodjapasha centre. We arrived at the meeting point. But we were not taken to Hodjapasha at 7 pm. The show took place at the meeting point instead. Half an hour was just music and the other half the whirling devrishes. At most we must have just seen 20 minutes of the whirling devrishes dance out of 60 minutes. Most disappointed with this especially as we had paid to see the whole hour and at the correct venue not where it took place. A big disappointment to say the least. Mrs S Lambat
