Nishimachi Food Fair 2006
NIS Stage
What a great day for good food drinks and dancing! On October 14th Nishimachi International School held their annual Food Fair. There were food booths from many different countries and lots of fun activities for children and families. In the center of the Fair was a stage with Live music, Taiko Drumming, and of course HULA! It was NIS keiki hula Girls Stage Debut. The Keiki wowed the audience with a 30 minute program and as a finale invited all of their friends to join the stage for "Pearly Shells."
For some girls, it was their first time to perform in front of a crowd. For others, they are veteran hula performers, but dancing on their home territory freaked them out! This is what a few of them had to say:
Sara: My heart beat like this! (pounding on her chest)
Nanako: I was nervous but then I was ok!
Eriya: I had butterflies!
Lucy: I didn't want to dance, but I did!
Nicole: It's different dancing in front of your friends.
Lanie: I was ok.
Ella: I like going on stage. Can we do it again?
BackStage:
DA Wahine: Masami, Kaori, Noriko and Hana, Masayo--Thank you for helping that day!
