Intro by Carolyn - describing makeup of two dance groups
First dance- circle dance
Also singing but not miked
Dedicated to worship of God & homage to the Sun
Rebirth of god of sun
A ritual dance
2nd- Fit- means steps
3rd- Wedding dance- performance by young people attending the wedding
4th- dance to gain strength
Perhaps a dance before a battle- to be encouraged
More powerful person should help the other
Looks like a battle between the dancers
5- Speak dance- dance of the community to make the community feel more united
Circle dance- whole community participates will be followed by another dance
representing birds flying - good spirits
