Himilaya

There is a youth dance group here in Huallanca who call themselves “Himilaya”. They choreograph their own dances and perform in competitions. All of the youth in this dance group are students of mine and thankfully I was able to watch them dance in a competition last week in the next town over! After practicing for months (I went to some of their practices to watch), they competed amongst about twenty other groups and they took second place! I was SO proud of them! They danced beautifully in gorgeous costumes and I am so glad that I was able to be there to support them because most of their parents didn’t go to the performance.

Here are some photos of their beautiful dance and of them in costume:

Right when they walked on stage and were about to start the dance

Mid dance!

Dancing beautifully!

After the dance so happy and proud :)

I am so proud of them!
