SHOW REVIEW

Review of  MANA SPIRIT OF POLYNESIA

Hoop dances and moonwalks. On Friday the tenth of May the whole school went to the tech centre to see a performance. The show called ‘Mana’ was performed by Bernard Mangakahia. For me the show was average. I found it was boring in some parts but mostly fun.

Bernard talked about his family and he did some cool dances. The cultures that he danced from were Native American Indian and Māori  and Hawaiian.  I liked all of these because he could do tricks. He was constantly spinning while using the hoops to make animal shapes. Some of the animals he made were a horse, a butterfly, eagle , bumblebee and so on. 

Bernard performed for us because he wanted to teach people about cultures.  I think that the school should have people from other cultures come to perform.  I think that this is important because  we are not racist and we are open to all cultures.
