Sorry for not posting. Haven't had much internet connection. Tuesday we went to a primary school. So cute. And all the children were getting signatures from ur children. The pics above are from the New Zealand school of dance. We led a hula class and they shared some fun contemporary dance exercises and sequences. The students did great. Then we shared repertoire between the two groups.

After our performance on Sunday night. We finished by having the families and students sharing their experiences and gratitude. I was so proud of the students because the families said such wonderful things about all of them. That they were gracious, grateful, helpful and all around wonderful. Thank u parents for installing these values within them. We r on an 8 hour bus ride today yo Wellington.
