\nDance Mogul: <\/strong>What was it like to prepare for the performance?
\nLeandro Santos Silva:<\/strong><\/em> It’s very intense, because we do everything on our own, working on the music, costumes, choreography, I always feel we don’t have time enough for everything. But when you do all that work with love, its worth it.<\/p>\n
