Saturday night’s SAMUN party kicked off at 8:00 p.m. in the transformed cantina of the Colegio Internacional de Caracas CIC. The beginning of the dance saw the students sitting around tables or standing by the snack bar, nervously anticipating which delegate may ask them to not only join their resolution but join them in a dance. The DJ opened the night with catchy beat of reggaeton, and many delegates found their dancing legs. Not long into the night, the party got livelier, and the students started dancing en masse. When the song “Calabria 2007” started playing, almost everyone got on the dance floor and started dancing to its rhythm.  When the DJ played meringue and salsa, the dance floor was left only to a few couples, as everyone else went to take a break. There were chips (crisps!!!), Coke, and 7 UP for snacks!

Later in the evening, two boys stepped up to the challenge and dropped some killer break-dance moves to the beat of the Black-Eyed Peas’ song “Don’t Phunk with My Heart”.  Later, there was a couple who shone at the dance floor when the merengue started sounding. The other delegates gathered around impressed and clearly entertained by the incredible movements of the best dancers of the night, Michael Collins and Jeshua Sornes.

One could tell that the delegates were tired from all the rigors of their SAMUN activities, and around 10:00 p.m., most of the participants hung around the tables, gossiping and relaxing.

Later technical problems with the music equipment shut down the music down, and the delegates started shouting at the DJ. Moments later the lights went on, and the delegates left the dance floor for their buses for the trip back to their respective hotels.

With the lights on and the maintenance people cleaning, there still was a small group of students who continued to dance. The maintenance people, decided to join in by swaying their brooms to the rhythm of Latin music wafting off into the stillness of the night.
