Ho'oilina Kupuna... Lu'au 2011!!

Tuesday and Wednesday were the Lu'au performances! We had such a fun time rehearsing and practicing for this show, and I'm a little bit sad that we couldn't have had more than two shows! It was so fun to get dressed up, slather our chins with baby oil and get all painted up, do lots of last-minute practicing, and watch the other sections dance. Voila some pictures:

My cute friend Holly, who was in one of the Hawaii dances.
Tahiti dance


Me and Laurel with Mary and Celinda (sisters, obviously). I just love them, and look how good Celinda is at doing the pukana.



My friend Luiza
Laurel with her stick. Great job on the stick dance... which I know has a real name, but I don't know it.
Me with my poi ball... taku poi e. Love that little thing.
Our opening number. Yeah Maori!!
Here's one of us during our dance. New Zealand was definitely the coolest...


And look who came to see me :)

What a great family I have. Thanks for coming, everyone!

Overall, I loved doing the Lu'au. It was such a great experience, I got to meet some really great people and learn about an amazing culture, and I'm excited to participate again next year :D
