Shaka Pau

Shaka what? 

Shaka Pau! 

Only the greatest performances by the institute kids.

and guess who was performing?

Yes. 

I know, I know. 

But it's not what you're thinking. 

Just wait until you see it for yourself. 

 There were 15 or so different talents, not bad.

Pia played "How to Save a Life" and Hilo sang, 

Diana sang a song [not exactly sure which one] but it was good nonetheless,

and there were various other performances.

Great job kiddos. 

But nothing compared to our show. 

Me, Pia, Carla, Hilo, and Fabiola. 

We've been practicing for the past week, 

I know, dedication right there. 

Carla made up a dance to a mix of songs and then taught it to us. 

I guess when I dance it's more a free for all, 

teaching me a dance is like trying to mix 

vegetable oil and water, 

it might look like it worked for a second - but then you realize it could never have. 

We were so excited and nervous

[I know right? lame - it's Shaka Pau - really?]

I had memorized the entire dance, but I have no explanation for what happened on stage. 

Embarrassing. 

Just embarrassing. 

If I could have disapparated on the spot, I would have.

I know what you're thinking, 

"if your so embarrassed - why are you posting the video for everyone to laugh at?"

and here's why, 

I do embarrassing things a lot, 

and if you can't laugh at yourself and say

wow, I'm goofy and learn to shake it off, 

then you have no sense of humor. 

and I have a good sense of humor. 

So, with no further ado:

The Jaba-Wana-Bes

Spider legs much? 

I look like a woman in Beyonce's Single Ladies Video.
and what's with the delayed applause?
Rude.

*Erase from my mind*

I'm glad it's over.

[not that it wasn't fun] 

Definitely fun - just a one time thing.

After all the performances, we had a dance. 

I could never have expected to dance so wildly, 

especially after that performance - I mean, 

I thought I would never come back.

Didn't take long though. 

and Pia, I think you're a great dancing partner, 

acting out all those songs was to the moon and back fun.

Especially Ke$ha's "Blow."  

 They whip their hair back and forth.

They whip their hair back and forth. 

Get it Carla!

This place about to Bloww-uhh-uhh-uhh-uhh-ow.

[Good break it out dancing song]

but you know, a free style - not a learned dance. 

Story of my life.
