Hawaii Statehood Dance Festival (Anchorage, Alaska)

Talofa, everyone. Let's get outdoors and have some fun! Here I am Downtown again, supporting a good cause. This time Alaska celebrates our neighbors from the far South during the ADP (Anchorage Downtown Project) Hawaii Day Celebration (Hawaii Statehood Celebration). There is music and dance during these non-profit celebrations. See hot island girls dancing and guys with flaming batons. I found out later that the party usually runs from 1:00pm - 3:00pm in Peratrovich Park in Downtown Anchorage, if you're lucky enough to catch it. I was fortunate to be walking by at the right time with enough room in my camera to capture some of the action.

Thanks for letting me tape this. Sorry about the shaky video. Next time I'll bring my tripod!

Itinerary:
1 - 1:20 p.m. — Ke KiaI A O Hula (Traditional Hawaiian Dance)
1:20 - 2:45 p.m. Hula Hui Na Haumana O Alaka (Polynesian Dance Troupe)
2:45 - 3:30 p.m. — Tupulaga (Youth Dance Group)

Happy birthday, and thanks! I was merely hoping to get a few still shots around town for my relatives and wound up shooting some of my best video yet. It was serendipitous that my camera still had enough room to capture these incredible performances.

I'm glad I was able to get away from the computer, escape the prison of shyness that kept me locked up most times and meet so many nice people. It was a magical day!
