, Karstie latvju dejotāji: Hot latvian dancers



Varbūt ne  katrs atceras slaveno filmu ar Džeinu Fondu galvenajā lomā par dejas sacīksti ASV, kas notiek necilvēcīgos apstākļos. Filmas nosaukums bija " Nodzītus zirgus arī nošauj

Arī mūsu Deju svētki izvērtās par ekstremālu notikumu, šoreiz dabas apstākļu dēl. Karstajā saulē daudzi jutās, maigi sakot, nekomfortabli. Lielākā daļa tomēr pārvarēja sevi un ar  dejas prieku tika pāri visām grūtībām.


Lai ko mēs teiktu par rīkotāju neapdomību un nespēju rīkoties ekstremālos laika apstākļos vai situācijas  neprognozejamību, sak mainīgais Baltijas klimats, viens mums jāatzīst – bērni, kas piedalījās un izturēja Deju svētku koncertus stadionā, ir mūsdienu varoņi.

Tas nav katram pa spēkam, bet viņi to paveica!

Skati video par tiem, kas dejoja un smaidīja:
