Dance Festival

All the stakes in Riverside County had a dance festival to bring a positive image on the LDS Church. The public was invited. The event was held at Redlands University Stadium. The dances were put together by the youth of the church after practing for months in advance. Matthew and I arrived just on time to attend the event. The prophet's daughter was there the night we didn't go, but either way, the whole thing was phenomenal.


This is all the youth in all of Riverside. My camera couldn't span the entire field but there were hundreds of youth there.



The laurels/priests, miamaids/teachers, beehives/deacons all had a different theme and danced to various songs. It was so much fun.


These pictures don't do it justice, but it was so awesome. It was hard to get a picture of everyone because the field was so big. These were other performances.

At the end we had missionaries from all over run out with a flag representing each state and we had fireworks. I will never forget this event.
Here's a little video of one of the dances.
