This afternoon...or evening (when does afternoon turn into evening anyway...) At 5pm, the kids had their school disco. We love discos and dancing!! We were a little late as we had to wait for hot lips to get home. When we arrived I thought Benny and Lani might take a while to warm up to the scene (as the usually do) but to my suprise, they jumped straight in. The first dance called for partners - who better to partner with than your older brother :)
...and younger sister. Sisi loves to sing and dance, she busted a move the whole time.
It was fantastic to see ALL the kids dancing. They had a dance instructor who has been at the school this
last week teaching them the dance moves. She was up the front on the stage guiding them through each
song.
Here' s Sisi getting cosy with a couple of Bennys friends
Benny and his friend Alex playing air guitar (no wonder Benny is taking a while to learn the guitar at home, look how he's holding it!)

Charlotte and Sisi having a dance...
and Lani and Chelsea (they'll be 6 soon!!!)
Job even got a chance to get his groove on
............or maybe it was just an excuse to flex his muscles
I think the kids loved this dance the most. It was 'Kung Fu fighting' - they call it 'Kung Fu Panda.'
The younger kids had their disco from 5-6pm, after that, it was the big kids turn. JJ (who'd been sitting down watching the younger ones) suddenly came to life when his friends arrived.
Silly Ben chased JJ around once the song had finished, chanting "JJ danced with a gi-rl!"
The bigger kids disco was a total contrast to the little ones. The music was louder and the light went out. It looks like it was light in the photos because I had the flash on but it really looked like this a lot of the time:
The kids had lots of time in between rountines for freestyle dancing
JJ with two of his good friends, Jordan and Sam
Playing a game - they were meant to construct the letter 'm'
The Wonderful Kiosk Ladies :) - The kids were able to buy food and drinks throughout the night..
There was an air guitar competition. Everyone displayed their best air guitar moves while the dance instructor walked around and chose 6 of the kids to compete at the front. Here's some of the younger kids:
Much better Benny, your guitar is the right way round :)
...and here's one of the big kids, grade 5/6 teacher and our Stake President
One of JJ's friends - Jordan, was chosen to dance at the front
The boys cheered him on...
He couldn't believe it when he won!
I was so disappointed to find out that all the videos (except for the short one above) didn't come out. I'm not sure what happened, its a shame to not have the little kids dancing to Kung fu fighting - and Jordans air guitar routine, it really was the best air guitar anyone had seen.
It was such a good night, a big thank you to the teachers and parents that made it all possible!
