Youth Dance

Young Men Young Women Activity Ideas..
See Hula Costume Contest in The Middle of This Post
End Of School Year Dance
Enjoy these photos from The Wellington Ward
Young Men Young Women Dance...
You will see photos of some of the most incredible
youth I have ever known.
Key elements of a great dance are
1) Great Music and/or DJ
2)Lots of Mixer Dances, Games, Activities
This Dance had all of the above...note the activities in
many of the photos.
Warning... this post is heavy on photos
On a side note...this is the end of the Youth Photos.
With recent changes in the YW Presidency, I was released.
I will still publish ideas from time to time, but these are the
last of the photos with this group of youth.
We used a tropical theme, yet rather than have everyone
dress too casually, it was still...Wear Church Dress...Tropical Colors
Even I was captured on my own camera participating in
The Casper Cha Cha Slide
This is proof that our Bishop's knee injury is healing..


Morgan and Caroline....
Caroline is gong to High School this school year..that should just
not happen....how did she grow up so quickly!



The next few photos show the result of a
"HULA COSTUME CONTEST"
I divided the youth up in to teams of 5
Each team had the following supplies:
3 Brown Paper Grocery Bags
1 Roll Masking Tape
1 Pair Of Scissors
1 Hawaiian Lei
Each team was to use these items to outfit one of their
team members in a Hula Costume...
The results were creative and impressive...

You could say we were being "green" with this Hula Costume
Activity...recycling paper bags!
Here they are modeling some of the team designs

Mariah...in her team's design. Mariah turned 16 yesterday!
A Round of Musical Chairs....
For Musical Chairs, we always do a Girls Event and a
Boys Event seperately. It makes for some hot competition.

Forrest is dancing with the coveted Pink Flamingo
The Pink Flamingo was used like a broom is usually used
for the "Broom Dance" Mixer.


Our DJ...Hooray for Brother Aravena!!!

Even our DJ finds time to dance!!
Thank you to all for a wonderful evening and for
being the great Young Men and Young Women you are.
I will miss each of you.

I know I was never in your ward but I did go to a few of the activities and it always seemed like the whole ward was there. I've been in a lot of great wards but it definitely seems that you have a really great ward. I love all the activities that you guys do.
