Today we went to the Reif Center in Grand Rapids for a field trip. We were treated to some wonderful music and dancing performed by a group from Morocco. They played ancient instruments and entertained us with swinging hat tassels and great dance moves.
The best part was the audience participation section of the concert. It started as a dozen volunteers up on stage - playing instruments and wearing the tasseled hats. The band kept encouraging the kids to come up and dance. Pretty soon, over half the audience was on the stage rocking out to this wonderful Moroccan music! One of the men even started a conga line through the seats of the Reif Center. The kids had a ball!
