Boxers from W arm B y Duran Bobb Spilyay Tymoo E very Tuesday night at 5:15, at the Community Center, the Wasqu Dancers meet. But it’s not a time for play, it’s a time for learning discipline and social dancing. For the past few weeks, the children have been practicing several dances which they per formed at the museum’s Tribal Member Art Show opening. Deannie Johnson, assisted by Carol Sahme, helped to prepare the children for their perfor mance. Parents joined in, teach ing the children the Welcome, B ear, Laughing, and Paddle Dances, among others. At last week’s Social Danc ing, the children saw a demon stration of traditional dancing by Marie Sampson. “I’ve been dancing since I was very young,” Marie said. “No matter how old you get, you can still dance. I don’t plan to stop.” Sampson told the class how to keep their regalia clean and gave them tips on how to look their best. “Don’t be afraid to practice your tradition. Go out there and be proud. Represent who you are, but most importantly, have fun!” Marie is currently attending COCC as a financing major. Springs and the region will compete; twelve to 15 bouts. General admission tickets available at the door. Prize for the best Halloween cos tume. Event begins at 6 p.m. Changes to holiday celebration H allow een is ju st over a week away, but planners for this year’s com m unity Christm as celebration are moving forward fast. The date for this year’s event has been set for Decem ber 1, 2011. L ast year, organizers ex pected a crowd of about 200 people at the celebration. After the dust had settled, it was esti mated that a crowd of about 1,000 people were in atten dance. “We expect this trend to con tinue,” Michael Martinez said at the last Prevention Coalition m eeting. “L ast year it was crowded, so we need to plan carefully this year.” Part of the celebration in cludes the Christmas Light Pa rade. “We still had people bring ing in their entries at the last minute,” Martinez said. “One of Carol Sahme (above) instructs the children in preparation for the performance. Marie Sampson (left) gave a demonstration of traditional dancing. them was the (school) bus, and they had such an amazing float!” This year organizers plan to have prizes for first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place parade floats. Another change planned is the bonfire to help minimize the indoor crowd. There will also be two plays perform ed by the children. One of the plays w ill be the N ativity, featurin g a N ative American theme. There is still a lot of work to be done before December. If you’re interested in becoming a part of the planning team, vol unteering, or making a donation, the next Prevention Coalition Meeting will be held on Mon day, October 24, at 1:00 p.m. in the Family Resources Confer ence Room. — by Duran Bobb Next deadline to submit items fo r publication in the Spilyay Tymoo is Friday, Oct. 28.
