Ibarra - TV Day 06-19-2009

 We finally arrived to the city where we came to do what we do best. The greatest feeling was waking up to the thrilling city after relaxing in Puerto Rico. We woke up at 6 A.M. in the morning to get ready for the performance which was later shown on television. The girls were ready by 7 A.M. where they met the boys in the town square before us-obviously they got too much sleep if they beat the girls! We danced Krakowiak on ten pairs and then split up into two groups of four where we went on two separate interviews which were later featured on television.
    After our intense hours of stardom, we had the whole day to explore Ibarra and get a taste of what the city was like. Every time we would walk by to the hotel from our interviews we saw massive crowds of women, nail polish and scissors. One of the town plaza’s by us offered free manicures and haircuts done by a beauty school. The setting was so strange because it was literally in the middle of a plaza outdoors. Most of the girls enjoyed the treatment, but so did one of our brave men. Mateusz Podowski decided to get a haircut and definitely rocked it later that night!
    The night was filled with dancing and new friends. The very friendly and welcoming Ecuadorian dance group took us on a night into the city. We attended club Tsunami where we danced most of the night away. They not only danced with us, but acted as our security for the night. Lets just say that Mateusz needed them around!
