Kitsilano Showboat

Tonight we had a performance with our Hawaiian group at the Kitsilano Showboat. Before heading down, we decided to have dinner at the Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company. On certain nights of the week, kids can make their own pizzas!

Cassie and Holly had fun rolling out the dough . . .




























. . . and adding toppings.



















Holly adding some cheese . . .














. . . and the final product.














Yummy!














Here is our M.C., Josie deBaat, who is also the kumu hula of our school called Halau Kia'i O Ka Hula (Guardian of the Hula).














Holly is part of the youngest group dancing at the school - this dance involves poi balls and is a traditional type of dance performed by the Maori in New Zealand.





























































These ladies are both in their 80's and you can tell when you watch them that they love to dance!















Switching to a Tahitian dance . . .










































Our finale, everyone comes on stage and we always sing "Aloha Oe", aloha, until we meet again . . .
