"Grab a nice mu'u or pa'u skirt and meet me here!"It is always wonderful to do shows with live music. Kalama Polynesian Dancers have collaborated with many musicians in Colorado including our very own Uncle Art Dacoscos, Stuart Yoshida, Uncle Siaosi Talitimu (Polynesian Fia Fia), Shan Oligo, Phillip Swain, etc... Today I was able to go and perform for a Corporate Function with Uncle Johnny Coelho from Hawaiian Way. Super laid back and just went up there to dance (Kanikapila Style) with whatever songs we knew. Not all dancers can just "wing it" the Professional Way. But for us it is a simple "Grab a nice dress or pa'u skirt and meet me here!". This is where you dance from the heart, from past Hapa Haole Hula's you learned as a child, even those that you don't know but feel passionate enough to tell the story to the audience with your form of art- Hula. Live Hawaiian Music is always soothing, welcoming, and fun to dance to. It is a lot of hard work to take beautiful pictures. This past weekend we were one with Colorado nature and we took pictures at McCabe Park in Parker, CO. Thanks to all of the dancers who endured stepping on rocks and bushes and who went into the tall grass. It was funny to see them scared of spiders too! (Sara!). Thanks Latreesha with Maniyah Photography. We cannot wait to see the final pictures. |
