Even busier

DON'T WORRY! They're practicing for a skit.

Grace will be doing a solo dance performance,

I don't think this is for the show...

 La danse bretonne It is kink of a long video, but it shows how much fun they had.

Grace looks a little scared...

Looks more dangerous than it was.

If Wednesday was busy, Thursday did not get much easier. After our support discussion groups in the morning, we had classes. After lunch, it was serious preparation for the family spectacular. There will be dance performances, musical performances, short plays and skits as well as improvs.

There is a lot of work going into this show.

Then Thursday night, it was Breton dancing. Jean-Paul, one of our on-site coordinators and Fabienne, one of our host moms teach traditional Breton dancing. And Thursday, they taught it to us.

This is so much fun! These are group dances done in lines, in the round and/or in couples. I only did the first dance, as I have a bad knee that wasn’t holding up well. But Loïc loves it, and Victoria is a natural born dancer. Even the students who thought of themselves as clumsy totally got into it. It is fast paced, exciting and just plain fun. For two hours, our students were true Bretons.

I’ve literally been working on putting together the video for three days. Every time, there has been a tech glitch. That’s why it hasn’t posted it before now. But please take the time to watch the entire 12 minutes. It’s an amazing experience for all concerned.

The photos and the video speak for themselves.
