Fashion Show

Yesterday we went to a youth festival at GITAM University. The stated purpose of the festival was a fashion show to pick Mr. and Miss GITAM. Yup, not just Miss, Mr. and Miss. I think the real point, though, was to have some cool dance performances.


This guy (in the next picture) was apparently some sort of abstract combination of bride and bridegroom. He was a very good dancer, although this particular dance was a bit weird. Indian college functions give me the impression that every Indian can dance. Really well. Actually, at least two of our translators are good dancers, too, come to think of it.


This was a modern/classical fusion dance that I thought was really good.




They had to sandwich the fashion show in between the dancing, because once the dancing parts were over people started to go away. Well, maybe it was to give the contestants time to change, too. The part in the middle of the dancing was the "retro" style fashion.



This is a video of one of the dances.



The part after the dancing was over was the "modern" fashion.



After all the contestants had strutted their stuff the last time, they all were lined up on the stage and asked deep questions like "What is your favorite holiday place?"


Then there was a short wait, during which half of the audience left, and Mr. and Miss GITAM were announced.


As we left I noticed that there were more rangoli here again. I like the peacock one especially.
