Really getting into it

This was the last performance we saw at the festival. It was actually fascinating, and so unlike anything I would expect to see here – some of the dancers really got into it, which was great to see. I was trying to get a better view when a guard told me to go sit down (after I had been thrown out of the men’s section, where I had parked myself by mistake), and I said, “I don’t want to sit down,” and found another spot, standing up. This picture is greatly cropped and very high ISO, but I wanted to show the dancers’ expressions if possible.
