One Down; One to Go!

One perfomance down, and one more to go! Our performance at Kimball went really well! I was happy to see Guru Francis so excited; he gave us an awesome introduction and joined in not just with the voices but with the chaking! I think the audience enjoyed our performance too.

Well, less than a week until the last performance! I just wanna say that I've really enjoyed this class. More so than I then I at first realized. For some reason, I felt like I've learned more than I thought I would have learned, but when I think of what more it was, it doesn't seem THAT much more. For instance, when I initially signed up for the class, I thought I'd learn a new dance style, which I did, I'd thought I'd learn some history and culture about where the dancing came from, which I did, and I even thought I do a performance which I did (though, I thought it'd only be for the class, not the community!). However I think what I didn't expect was the great sense of community we would have as a banjar and how good a public performance would feel. I'm actually kind of glad that we have one more performance to do, this time with the rest of the banjhar (but somehow I think middle schoolers will be a more intimidating audience).

Good luck everyone!!
