These are just a few of the thousand that were taken from the Opening Ceremonies of this year’s Dance and Music Festival in Rexburg, Idaho. Teams from Columbia, India, Belgium, Russia, Austria, Senegal, Russia, and China are here to participate. I am the photographer for the Rexburg Chamber of Commerce for the week while the event is being held.
