  12. The type of dresses they had on were kind of big at the bottom and multi-colored. The men wore white suits with black vest. The dance was very long and boring. The dancers were twirling all around on the floor. At different parts of the dance the men and women split up , and the men took turns dancing together , then the women took turns. Then they came back together.

  18. The males dancing was very ackward. It really look like they was doing karate. It didn't look like anything us americans would do. The female dancing and foot working was very ackward as well. The females looked as if they was skipping or jus slowly running around. The dresses was very cute. I love the all white at the top. I also loved the colorful part at the bottom. I loved the colors.

  26. I like how the dance start off. As the women came in, I realized that the men kind of moved out of the way and let the women dance. This is a very unique dance. It also appeared to me that the women were all dressed the same but they had on different colors. That is similar to how American people dress when they dance.
