The Charleston. In Pemba.

Today we did an hour of English and then practiced, Left and Right and Front and Back and Around and other vocabulary by doing The Charleston! Turns out this visitor is quite the dance instructor and competed in international competitions and at one time was seventh in the world at something. She taught us how to do the Charleston today. I wish you could have seen these kids. I will try to video it. I am hoping we can actually perform it but not sure if Church is the best place to break out into the Charleston or Lindy Hop but it is priceless to see. Tomorrow she wants the kids to teach her, so they will be practicing their English and showing her one of their traditional dances. I honestly am blown away that dance is a part of the school, but it is a beautiful teaching tool and we are all having so much fun.
