I went to see Island Breeze at the SMCC and one of the dancers set his tongue on fire. It was awesome! Carl
We got our chins and faces painted. Autumn
They used face paint to tell stories about their families and about what they do. The ladies make their eyes wider to show their beauty and the men stick out their tongue and chest to show their strength. Elaina
They told us a true story about what happened the night before their presentation. How a stranger tried to get in a fight and steal his vehicle. Teagan
In their country they didn't actually use faint paint. They used a bone and hammer to imprint their pictures on peoples' faces. On the girls they could only print on the chin and the men could get printed anywhere on their face. Jordan
I really enjoyed the dancing! Martine
Rudy told us that in the old days the transformation of getting the face painted was hard to get. You had to ask the chief and your family. You had to be chosen. It was hard to get and he showed us how it was done and it looked pretty painful. Matteo
If the person who was getting the tattoo asked for it to be stopped before it was complete it brought shame to the family and the village for the rest of his life. I wish I saw the performance of the fire. Joyce
The performer told the boys to follow the actions of the men and the girls to follow the actions of the ladies. Natasha
They like dancing and showing us how it is done in their country. They showed us how to use our WITS. Robert
This dancing looks like a lot of fun!! Hope you all enjoyed.
