Once upon a time, I was one of them .................. (sigh) ..... and one of the teachers (sigh) and I still love dancing, especially the fans dances. There is a season for everything, don't you agree?

The Anaconda Night Show by the Jewels of the Desert
Saturday, 12 July 2008
Except for the lightings, I really enjoyed watching the belly dancing show, put up by the Jewels of the Desert, last night in San Luis, Yuma County.
Can't see all the dancers clearly, especially those in the 2nd row! Teacher Shirley, who was dancing on the stage, later expressed the same feelings too. She said she almost collided with another dancer on the stage.
They have only colored lights beaming onto the stage and only a few minutes during the whole 1 hr show were a few of the ceiling white lights switched on. I guess it was better that way, with their kind of dressing and movements.
Can't help smiling so widely when the guy, taking this picture, said "Kung Fu". My oriental look must have spurred him to utter that word! But when he assisted to take another picture for my white looking teacher, he said "cheese".

14th Annual Arizona Asian Festival, Phoenix
Saturday, 19 April 2008
It was the 2nd of the 3 days festival. There were booths of different countries, displaying their respective products and food. What attracted most was the stage shows.
Doing the Tinikling, a traditional and popular Philippines Folk dance, that involves the hitting of two bamboo sticks by 1 person at each end.
This was not a dance. It was a Taiko performance - very interesting. Taiko drumming is a Japanese culture.
I would like to see Thai dancing because I think they are beautiful and very graceful, but the performance was only on Sunday, and I wouldn't be coming back. However I got to see Thai fashion. It is funny seeing non-Asian ladies modelling in Thai dresses, but anyhow both the models and the dresses are pretty.
What was disappointing for me is there were no Malaysian representatives? Someone told me there are Malaysians in their association but there is no director for the festival. I also noticed there weren't any Singaporean booths as well.

Stake Relief Society Birthday Celebration
Saturday, 8 March 2008
I thought the card was cute! White colored and in the shape of a women with a long dress, with the date and time of the function stamped on it.
I asked if I could contribute a dance to the Ward's celebration on the 21 February, and since the program had already been confirmed, the RS presidency said I dance for the Stake's celebration instead. I did the same dance that I did at the Gawai Dayak's talent show in the Miri branch in 2006.
This was a cultural dance by the San Luis branch. Reminded me of a Mexican dance that I did together with a few other ladies, in a talent show in the mid 90's. Our costumes then were so simple compared to these lovely ladies.
Lunch was served after the performances. These chairs are waiting for them to come back with their food!
Sister Lourdes and her daughter Sara waiting in the queue!
Me and the 'Mexican' dancers from San Luis branch! We are the only 2 branches that danced.

50's Sock Hop
Saturday, 8 February 2008
......... Be creative and decorate those feet, then plan to come and dance and eat ......... That magic word 'dance' - I am glad Mike & I were able to go this night.
......... Please bring a large bag to put your families shoes in .......... We were to leave our shoes outside the hall and enter with socks on.
The 3 Elders missionaries were the judges of which pair of socks is the most creative, beautiful, etc. etc.. I was asked to take part in the competition too even though I thought it was nothing. I wore a pair of purple colored lady socks over a pair of Mike's white socks.
Father with his daughter dancing to the music from the 50's!
She was the winner of the hula competition! I can hula too but didn't take part. Enjoy watching people hula instead.

It was good to see parents on the floor with their children, shaking simply to the music. I had a swell time practising my jive steps with Sister Ruth!

2008 New Year's Eve Dance
Monday, 31st December 2007
It had been so many many years since I attended a New Year's Eve dance with a man. I cannot even remember when and where. I think it was in my early 20's. Tonight, even though I have not fully recovered from a slight spell of cold, I wanted to attend the stake's dance because I have never been to one yet! I didn't dance as much I did when I was young, but I did enjoy as much as I did when I was young.
