Jonah went all out in getting a dance instructor to teach the Activity Day children the traditional Tininkling Dance of the Philippines. Sister Sharon Perez is obviously talented in many forms of dance and looks and acts like a ballerina. The Primary children are very lucky to have her as their teacher.
I've been so excited to have this happen and have been looking forward to this day for many weeks. I was very pleasantly surprised when I met Sister Sharon for the first time as she showed the children form and why they need to act in a certain way during the dance.
Actually she danced the children till they were exhausted. She just kept on showing them steps as they slowly sank to the floor. She has a lot of discipline, grace, and endurance. What a pleasure it was to watch her!

| The awkwardness in the beginning melted away to a semblance of grace |

| Sister Sharon went before each group showing them each step |

| The bamboo poles were never used because the basics are simple in theory but difficult to execute |
Sister Sharon left with some practice steps to do every day so the children can build the muscles to endure the lively dance in a performance.
