Two additional dancers wowed the audience with their performances, as well. Alina Kattel, a student from Nepal, mouthed the words to her upbeat music as she performed a traditional Nepali dance. Vanessa Notario, a student from Paraguay, surprised the audience as she balanced a bottle of water on her head for the duration of her dance.
"It's very popular in Paraguay to balance things on your head." Notario said.
Two strings musicians captivated the audience with passionate performances. First, Henry Setton, a freshman from Sao Paulo, Brazil, played the Adagio and Presto movements of Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata No. 1 in G Minor on violin. Majoring in music, Setton has been playing for 10 years.
He said the Baroque composer is his favorite.
"I'd like people to know more Bach because [his music] is amazing, and I'd like to spread this kind of music," Setton said.
Jose Carlos Lopez, a student from Peru, played three songs on his acoustic guitar that his father taught him to play. In the first, a classical piece, he played rapid triplets in a tremolo. The second was a piece in Huayno style, which is a genre native to Peru, and the third was a Peruvian waltz.
ISA Vice President Alex Calderon, a junior, described the songs as being "very beautiful." Born and raised in Lima, Peru, until age 10, he said the three songs held a special significance to him.
Andrea Ramirez, a student from Paraguay, was the sole spoken word performer of the evening. She recited a love poem in Spanish.
Vocal performances by Alan Martin, a student from Scotland, and Yang Fan, a student from China, gave the crowd goose bumps.
"Some say it's the story of a man and his love; some say it's the story of two soldiers who went off to war," he said. "[..] Others say it's a class warfare thing — some people say the
Martin sang a traditional Scottish song "Loch Lomond." He said the origins of the song are unknown, as is its meaning.
high road is for nobility and the low road is where you take the peasants' route"
Fan performed two numbers: a Chinese pop song and a folk song she said came from a minor part of China. In the final performance of the evening, she and about a dozen other women modeled a variety of traditional Chinese dresses in a fashion show.
Hollie Hall, social chair of ISA and senior from London, England, said she thought the event went very well.

Woodard said.
This year will be the first time all participants will travel to the KU Field Station for different tours, presentations dinner and more.
Aside from this daytrip, all other courses will be taught on campus.
! Woodard said some attendees have ventured to the Field Station in the past, but never the entire group.
"It's exciting that we'll get to let everyone experience all of the incredible things happening at the Field Station,"
One of these will be a presentation that's been given in 26 countries.
"Some Stupid Seismic Experiments I Have Done," will be taught by Interim Dean of CLAS Don Steeples.
Steeples was a professor at the University for nearly 35 years, and throughout that time he conducted a variety of experiments that led to his
popular presentation.
"Some of the ones that I thought were too stupid to admit I was doing turned out to be unusually interesting and sometimes even groundbreaking." Steeples said.
After Steeples put all of his work together, he received 69 invitations from around the world to come speak about his findings. Now, he will speak here at the University.
Classics Professor and Academic Director of Jewish Studies John Younger will teach
a course on Minoan pottery, which dates back to 1800 B.C. Younger said it's the largest and most complete ancient pottery workshop.
He has been excavating three buildings that contain kilns for firing pottery, while also taking pottery classes at the Lawrence Arts Center. He said his ultimate goal is to reconstruct the original process of making pottery.
"I'll be presenting what I've found for others to learn about, and in turn, I hope that
they can point out something new for me," Younger said.
Younger has taught at Mini College before, and he said some of the adults who took his classes ended up enrolling in the University to take his regular courses during the school year.
"They add an interesting dynamic to my regular classes," Younger said.
Other course topics will include economics, English and art.
Tom Standish and his wife
Kali have been going to Mini College since it started in 2009.
Standish attended the University in the 70s and said he enjoys returning to campus for a week every year.
"We see friends we have met at previous events and continue our lifetime of learning," Standish said.
Registration for Mini College is now open at www.deptsec.
ku.edu/-minicoll/register/ to all adults and costs $250.00.
