Fancy Dress Party













                                                               Fancy Dress Up Party
Folk dancing is really fun. Yesterday after school, we went to  Ngā Purapura. Everyone had to dress up in a costume. I dressed up as a cowboy with a necklace, jeans and a part of my tuxedo.

 A lot of  people dressed up as a cowboy as well. There was a Captain America costume, a Marshmello, black panther, Superman, Pennywise and Basketball players. The costumes were nice  and creative. Kids even made up costumes with cardboard.

The first class were room 1 and 11, They did the jiffy mix. Then it was rooms 2 and 10, Bad hair day dance. Next was rooms 7 and 8, did the gumboot. Then rooms 5 and 6 did the Virginia Reel. Next up was my class, Room 4, and we did strip the willow. All we did was turning around down a line and back up. Then it was rooms 3 and 12, they danced 5 6 7 8. Our class was the only class that didn’t dance with another class.

At the end of  the dances the parents had to come up to the dance with the kids. It was humiliating because they didn’t know what to do and that was the funny part of the dance.

At the very end all the kids got ice cream. A lot of kids went home, they forgot to stay for the macarena. When they started the music there were only about 20 people there.
