Gotta Crack that Whip!

Semester two has started for those of us in New Zealand studying at University.
It has also meant a chance to invite new members to join our Club and try not to scare them off with our crazy antics.
That being said if you need some motivation to get on top of your study, come on down to Club so we can "crack that whip."
Ben our resident whip cracker, does a cracking good job! As seen on Tuesday night! I took a small video to share with you all! No need for a motivational speech, just take a few seconds to watch the clip......


I have also had some short clips taken of hooping, attempting new moves and just having a generally good jam at Club check it out below! 


I you have any requests for us to video anyone or any toy make a comment and we will try get onto it. 
We have two big events coming up, performing for a Ball/Formal dance as well as an on stage performance Unity in Diversity this month! So watch this space for updates.

Belly dance anyone?

Saturday night was the 10th Mid Winter Hafla! 

As a Club we were invited to perform for the Mid Winter Hafla outside the theater as the public arrived for the evening event. We had the great pleasure of burning to the Manawataki Drummers and even had a small wooden stage to use.

I must admit to getting out the palm candles and have a shameless dance to the African rhythms.
Following our entrance burn the night went off with a range of stage performances of various belly dancing techniques and skills with fabulous costuming (Lots of sparkle) and music.
So as I was the one taking the bad quality photos you miss out on my face (Yay you all say) but here are a few of those photos to peer at. Enjoy!
Rope Dart anyone?

Manawataki Drummers creating some beats for us and the public to jam to.
Burn baby Burn! All the fire and skill.

And of course you cannot get through a good evening of burning without some soot!
