Let’s Dance

Well we thought that you all might enjoy the rest of the dances from our Cultural Night. We already showed you our Hula but there were several others that we just received the videos for. So here they are!

Niue Dance

Kiribati Dance

Tongan Dance

Another Tongan Dance. Notice the ladies walking through the Tongan Dances, they are putting $5 bills in the dancers clothes. I guess that is a tradition in Tonga.

Indian Dance. I love it when the little children and the teenagers participate. We have taught the primary class for most of these young men in this dance.

Tahiti Dance

Samoan Dance

Another Samoan Dance. This young man is also in the Primary class we often teach.

Cook Island dance. Aren’t those little girls cute. They are twins.

Another Cook Island Dance. Understand that we have people from almost all of these islands in our Ward. However most of the people in these dances were not from the Islands they were representing.

This last Friday we had the anniversary of the Relief Society. So they had a 60’s dance to celebrate. Somehow we were asked to do the waltz? I am not sure what the waltz has to do with the 60’s but here we are with our Ward Mission Leader and his wife. We taught them to waltz and they did a wonderful job. We weren’t as flamboyant as some of the other couples but most of them really didn’t do the waltz.

They also had some Young Adults do kind of a hip hop dance. The couple dancing are from our Ward.

Here we are with the Tavaga’s. He is our Ward Mission Leader.

Here we are with the Mohetau’s, some of our friends from the Ward

This is a bunch from our Ward including the other two couples, the Tapatuetoa’s, and Sister Samau, the Bishop’s wife.

Spring is really hitting New Zealand and we don’t have to go far to see the flowers. These are all in our neighbors yard.

We are really worrying that our Mission is drawing to an end. We have another transfer this week and only two more after that. We are happy to note that our replacements have already been called. We love you and miss you all.

Love Elder and Sister Bartlett
