Dance Festival 2010

This was such a neat experience for the kids. Even though this month has had record rainfall you knew it was going to be glorious for dance festival. (That many Mormons praying can move mountains!!!) Had 2 granddaughters dancing this year. The kids spent the better part of 3 days together with practices and other activities. We hosted 2 very nice young men during their "off" hours (basically sleeping).

This was the opening sequence. It started with a few on the field and then the kids came running down the aisles in the grandstands. The audience was clapping and yelling. The energy was high and so was the spirit.

This was the patriotic tribute to the Armed Forces.

This was a disco

This was a routine for the 12-yr. old girls done to "Car Wash". Anna is in here (red arrows).
This is the Swing for the 14/15 year olds. Meghan is in here... somewhere


Kids all together getting the audience involved.


One of the cultural dances.


Here the priests carry in flags representing all the temples operating (133). The girls performed a ballet routine to "I Love to See the Temple".

Finale. This time all the missionaries in the area carried in the white flags.
