an afternoon of hula and an evening of jazz

Today, my hula halau performed at May Day at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. Two of my friends came from Oakland and San Francisco to watch me and the others dance. Our halau performed three kahiko dances, one Tahitian aparima, several 'auana dances and one ori Tahiti dance. I danced in one kahiko dance and one 'auana dance.

After the performance, the three of us wandered around the vendor area for a bit, then we went out to dinner. After we said our goodbyes, I drove home.

After resting for a bit, I went to church to see a jazz concert at my church. I'm not very familiar with jazz; however, I certainly enjoyed the concert. The young musicians are very talented.

Hula rehearsal and Cinco de Mayo

All classes in my halau had a hula dress rehearsal today. I enjoyed seeing all the different outfits and dances. I took six hours of vacation time in order to attend the rehearsal. I only worked from 4:00 – 6:00. After work, I went to church to attend the Cinco de Mayo party. I bought horchata and contributed some paper flowers as decorations. Right now, it's quiet and peaceful outside. I'm going to bed after I finish my laundry.
