We, at Nakasuk School, Iqaluit, received a special treat when two of our students did a presentation of the Lion Dance for their classmates. Andrew Ma, Grade 1, and Thomas Ma, Grade 2, accompanied by their father, Tat Ma, shared their culture. Thomas, the dancer, wore a traditional lions head dress and danced in an intricate and entertaining fashion. The tempo and cadence was provided by his brother, Andrew, on drum.
We thank the Ma family for the presentation and the homeroom teachers Layli Joamie and Amanda Kerton for providing the venue.
Attached are some pictures from the cultural presentation.
