YOUNG DANCERS HONOR THEIR VILLAGE WITH A TALENTED PERFORMANCE
 
These dancing group of kids from a small village in Peru keep their special dance traditions alive.  This year they are dancing in a special festival called the "Virgin of Candelaria" on February 1 in Puno, Peru. They are amazing singers and dancers!
 
THE STARFEATHER DANCERS SHARE THEIR TRADITIONAL DANCE
 
John Toya and the Starfeather Dancers are from Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico and travel around sharing their beautiful Native American traditions.  Here you will see a very sacred dance - the Eagle dance - and also a jingle dress outfit along with other special clothing called "regalia". 

       
 
WORLD'S LARGEST DRUM
 
At the Musikfest Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, we all built what may be the world's largest drum!  It is 20 - 21 feet in diameter and played with special beaters made at the festival from sticks.   We aren't sure if our drum will make it into the Guiness Book of World Records yet - but we had a good time playing it.
