Living Legends

Last night we enjoyed the dance performance of the BYU group Living Legends. It is made up of Native American, Polynesian, and Latin American students and they do cultural folk/traditional dances. The performance we saw was unique in that it told the story of the Book of Mormon from a broad native perspective through the dancing and storytelling. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that has the opportunity to see them. The dancing was good, and the music and costumes were amazing!

This was one of my favorite dances and costumes.

This was one of Lamoni's favorites for obvious reasons. It was actually kind of funny when these dancers came on because you would have thought we were at a football game by the level of cheering and applause in the audience. There were obviously a lot of patriotic Mexicans in attendance that night.


There were several Polynesian dances but this traditional dance from Fiji was new to me and it was very fun to watch.


We also enjoyed dances from Alaska, Guatemala, Argentina, Samoa, Paraguay, Hawaii, Tahiti, and several North American dances like the bell dance and the hoop dance (which I love). It was a fun date and I was so glad that we got to go. If only I could dance in these dances too....
