PHS 2008 Pacific Arts Festival

Last year when Clif and I would go to Everett's school programs and performances, we were surprised that they seemed to be essentially the same things that we had done in elementary school. Well, that's all changed since we moved here!

Friday we went to the Pacific Horizons School version of the Pacific Arts Festival. We saw Cook Island dances, Fijian dances, Maori dances, Tahitian dances, Hawaiian dances, and Samoan dances.

Everett and Simon have been busily practicing their dances over the past few weeks. Simon's class is nearly all boys so they did a Fijian warrior dance. He was very excited about it and practiced over and over at home.

Everett's class did a Samoan dance. His lava lava and tshirt have a fale and palm tree that the class printed on them. He wasn't as excited about his dance as Simon was, but the tshirt and laval lava have been a constant topic of conversation for weeks now.

The warrior dance sounds cool! And there's nothing more intriguing than a man in a lava lava! I think Ryan has one in his collection somewhere.
