Tribal Dancing: My Own Experience



On 23December, our school took part in a cultural event at the Children's Book Fair held at Central Park right here in Salt Lake. It was a great experience for me because it was the first time I did something from school...outside the school.
The name of our group was "Matir Tane" (which means 'Attraction of the Motherland'). We did dances from tribal India, wearing their dresses, copying their culture, and copying their dancing styles, etc. It was really enjoyable for me to dance up on stage. We had to do a lot of practicing for it, but at last our labour was successful.
The full programm was telecasted live on television. And our teacher was also extremely proud of us -- which is always a wonderful feeling!
