Towards the end, one of the most interesting part of the show was, people from the audience were encouraged to join the dancers on the stage and they moved around in a circle following the light steps and hand movements as shown by the Japanese dancers. H.E. the Japanese Ambassador and his wife also joined them on stage. Here are some pictures from the event:
