FAIRYTALE GALA COTILLION

  Asianista Socials customarily does its COTILLION like no other (- Thanks to the brilliant mind of Sir Rommel Alvarez who started this.) The dancing goes on with a storyline that transitions from the first group of dancers to the last. We usually have four groups.

Disclaimer: 

Our theme is FAIRY TALE but the music we use for the dancing and singing do not necessarily come from the fairytale movies or films. However, they are sound tracks used from other TV series or simply romantic music that are valuable in attaining the storyline.

So here goes our storyline for the FAIRYTALE GALA theme of the Asianista Socials
