This dance is dedicated to the 33 brave Chilean miners who spent 69 days underground,
and were rescued on 13. 10. 2010. by courageous helpers whose persistence saved them.
Let us be inspired & rejoice at this marvelous display of human caring, endurance & hope,
and be thankful that no life was lost. Vida La Amor!
