Models strutted in their Burju Shoes featuring everything from vibrant colors to feathers and swarovski crystals to a packed house of models, entertainers, dancers, brides, and shoe fanatics.

Guests were entertained by the sound of Pulpo playing live on the piano and DJ Danny spinning the Latin beats. Family, friends and of course beloved husband and dance partner Victor Perez were by Burju's side for the memorable ocassion. Nuevotec was there to capture the highlights and give those who could not make it a taste of what was missed.
