dance festival...

A couple weeks ago, they had the annual dance festival at school. Each class gets to perform a dance on the high school football field. We had dance festivals at my elementary school, so it was neat for me to be there. I loved that the 5th graders did Tinikling. It's a dance from the Philipines where two people bang together bamboo poles to the beat on opposite sides of each other while dancers jump in and out between them. Make sense? I was especially excited about this, because in my elementary, the 6th graders got to do this dance every year. It was so much fun, and I have very fond memories of doing this dance.

The kindergarteners did a March of the Penguins dance. I applaud the teachers for getting being able to coordinate the kindergarteners together and keep them seated for the rest of the performance! And other than sitting directly in front of the speaker and having to keep our hands over our ears for the entire thing, it was fun! Great job Zane!

Awe, Tinikiling! That is so cool that they do that at Zane's School. I am sure it was very fun!
