Hello Friends and Family, |
Indian Market 2019, Part 5 |
Link to this year's index by clicking here. |
The Tony Duncan family is still center stage, with his wife introducing their oldest daughter with an explanation of her outfit. I especially like the tiny cones (that look like bells) on her dress which sound like a thousand bells when she dances. ![]() |
I can still hear the bells in my mind as I recall her dance. She is already a very good dancer — of course, she has excellent instructors in her mom and dad. ![]() |
Next, we see the Duncan middle daughter also with the golden cones doing her dance. She seems a bit shy but really gets into the feeling of the dance once the music starts. ![]() |
The next performer was a singer who sang a song that she had composer herself. Beautiful! ![]() |
Soon, Tony took the stage again for another song on a different flute. I love his haunting melodies. ![]() |
You can see the concentration on his face — he is deep into his music — and we, the audience, feel the connection. ![]() |
Then Tony began to perform some additional loop dances for us. ![]() |
We were lucky to be able to watch his incredible performances. ![]() |
I assume the dance moves have names — I am guessing this to be a turkey or some similar bird. ![]() |
The climax comes with four intertwined hoops forming a globe — perhaps representing the sun — or is it the unity of all mankind? Either would be appropriate. ![]() |
To be continued... |
Life is good. |
Aloha, B. David |
