*sigh*

I keep wishing we would have a dance group here out in Nunivak Island. But when we have our after school programs, about only up to 12 or less students would go. We can't use the gym very often because of the light bill, so we use a class room. Last year we were able to use the gym and ever Wed. we would have dance practice in there. I dont know how long we had dance practice last year, but we tried to have one but we stopped because no one would go. It disappointed me. I really wish that our people had spirit of Eskimo dancing. The question, "What happened to the people and their spirit of Eskimo dancing?" pops up in my mind everytime I think of it.
I've always wanted to Eskimo dance for a few years now, but I didn't know where or what to do when I lived in Bethel. Then we moved to Anchorage and I really didn't know what to do and where to go. A few months of living in Anchorage and then my mom told me we were going to move out here, in Mekoryuk. I got excited because I was going to be able to Eskimo dance, well thats what I thought. Then my first year of living here and we were going to have dance practice, I was excited and when I got there, there was bairly anybody there. Just about maybe 15 or more or less people. I continued to go and there were still the same amount of people. Then a few weeks had past and we stopped having dance practice. It made me sad.
I think that people stopped going because of we do the same old songs. But who knows? I want there to be new songs. There was new songs, but no body knows how they go and the moves to the songs. Maybe the person who make up the songs, but I'm not sure...
