Today our class learned about the Lion dance. We waited for Mrs Nelson-Latu's class to finish with their learning then walked in and met Winsome. He told us to find a partner and I went with Jess.
Jess went to grab a belt from a pile. Later we had to hold onto the belt. to know where to go. Winsome showed us a gong, drum, and symbols. Me, Jess, and some other kids got to go in the suits first.
The first few minutes were fine but then something happened. My back began to cramp up as a result of bendng over for so long. I nearly cried in the suit because of it. I tried to endure it but I couldn't then went to see Whaea. I sat out for the final few minutes.
Winsome told me to lay on my stomach to help my back. It did. By the time I was better the dance was done. The other group began and the real cat Ed came in. He wandered around for a bit then Lilley put him outside. When we were done we thanked Winsome and left.
I like all the detail you added. I also like how you included the instruments names.
