Wajo, which simply means 'Come and dance' captured the attention and participation of everyone at the event when the dance chain game, a popular culture of Wajo, was played bringing the theme Wajo to live.
The popular saying 'what a man can do, a woman can do better,' was turned around to 'what an adult can do, kids can even do better' when a bunch of awesome kids- Star kids- wowed the crowd with yet another outstanding dance performance.
