Indian Hoop Dance



Today a students father came to the school and did an Indian hoop dance for the 1st, 2nd & 3rd grades. His son was in Alexs' class last year and I got to know him and his wife. He's from the Navajo Tribe, he's a very talented man and both of them are very friendly. Last year he was at one of the class parties, and instead of the children up dancing and playing around, they set quietly in the back with him while he told them a story and folded paper ( which turned out to be an eagle). He also dances in the Indian Pow Wows around town.



After he danced to a couple Indian songs, he let some children come on stage and he put the hoops around them. I'm surprised Alex went up, he was made into a butterfly.

I bet that this was a really great presentation. I'm glad that Alex was able to participate. He sure looks like he was having fun.
