Anyone up for having a new trip to Chambery? Just like one year ago, the French capital of Savoy will host a vast cultural program that features dances from around the world. Last year's show, with Mexico, Slovakia and Taiwan, was so entertaining that we think it's worth returning: this year's guest groups will come from New Zealand, Costarica and USA (Idaho).
