Rock Challenge Dance Competition


Kendall had a wonderful opportunity with her school to take part in a Japan Dance Competition called "Rock Challenge".  Each team is able to tell a story through their dance.  Tokyo Internation Schools' story takes place in Nigiria and it is about "Following Your Dreams".  The story starts with a group of children playing and coming upon a sign looking for performers during the World Cup in South Africa.  The children decide to follow their dreams and they sign up to perform in this amazing opportunity.  Kendall loved being involved with this. The story, music and dance itself were so uplifting.  Both girls and boys were part of the team, and the kids ranged in age from Grade 5 - Grade 8.   The performance took place in Yokohoma, so we made the road trip to support our girl  and our school.  It was a magical night of dancing from all of the schools, many displaying japanese dance forms and martial art type movements.  The talent was amazing.  TIS walked away with the honor or "Best Story".  The crowd was thrilled as many families came out to support our school.

Kendall was tired on the drive home but was able to find a soft spot to fall! So sweet!
