Hawaiian Hula!

Everyone at The Pointe visted Hawaii the other day without ever leaving Crestwood. The residents chose a Hawaiian themed meal for the Meal-of-the-Month and Program Director, Angie Garbaczewski, ran with that theme for the days entertainment.
After the residents dined on kabobs of chicken, pineapple and veggies, along with sweet and sour meatballs over rice and pineapple upside down cake, they returned to the dining room for the entertainment. Garbaczewski hired the "Heart of Hawaii Hula Company" to not only perform for the residents, but to give lessons as well. The show started with classical Don Ho music and Hawaiian hulas which really got the party going. However, the talented and well informed dancers also performed dances from Tahiti and New Zealand, giving the history of each dance as well as describing the authentic attire. The audience was thrilled to see these exotic and unique dances. Towards the end of the show, they got volunteers to dance to "Tiny Bubbles". As is usually the case, only women volunteered. However, the dancers were not to be dissuaded and got several of the men to come up for the last dance. The dancers surprise everyone when they started putting grass skirts and coconut shell bikini tops on the men. The crowd roared with laughter as the men were taught the traditional hip gyrations of the hula. Flashes were going off as the men were paired up with their own lovely dancer.
Once the show was finished, each of the dancers, graciously went through the audience bidding aloha thanking each resident for coming to their show. The next day, everyone was still talking about the dancers and the wonderful job they did. We would like to thank everyone from the "Heart of Hawaii Hula Company" for making the day such a special one.
