On Tuesday the 17th of October some Hindu Indian dancers and musicians came to my school and performed a 400 year old dance, each move meant something different interesting . They also told us some very interesting facts about Diwali.
Here are 5 cool facts about Diwali:
- The weight of the bells on the dancers feet are 7 kg each.
- It is an official holiday in 12 countries.
- For two weeks students and workers get a holiday to celebrate Diwali with friends and family
- Diwali is a five day celebration also known as "the festival of lights".
- Diwali takes place on the 15th day of the Hindu month of Kartika.
I think the dancers and musicians were amazing because of all the talent in the performance. My favourite part of the dance was the the teachers getting up on the stage and gave it a go. Some teachers looked really funny compared to the professional dancers.
Here are some photos:
