Free event draws crowd in dowtown Sacramento.
Over 1,000 people attended the World Music and Dance Festival in Old Town Sacramento.
The event was part of a two-day celebration that began the previous night at the Memorial Auditorium.
The open-air event in Old Town Sacramento featured two dancing stages that allowed spectators to enjoy the diversity of live music and dancing from local performers.
Over 27 cultures were represented at the festival through information booths, singing, dancing, music, and custumes. From saris to kilts, spectators arrived wearing their own family's traditional costumes.
Sacramento is home to a very diverse population, and the festival allowed people to immerse themselves in other cultures.
The booths invited curious people in by offering quizes and hands-on projects, while other areas allowed people to get more physical. The second dancing stage offered an intimate experiece where cultural dancers would teach steps to dances and get the audience to join in and dance around the stage.
The Global Village was he first event put on by the World Music and Dance Festival. This event was the first annual cooperative festival involving so many cultural performance groups from the Sacramento area.

Great news event. Good summary info in the story. And great interview on the video. I liked seeing the tack get posted on the map, and the feet moving fast on the dancing, in addition to what you had.
What the story needs is sources and voices --- quotes? Details?
On the video, the music should match the dancing. Don't insert background music or it looks like someone's having some kind of fit. Can that be re-edited to the original music?
Did you talk to anyone else on video or take notes? That will really fill out the story.
But, overall. Good work! And on deadline!
