Island Breeze is well known for it's cultural dances. Our base has a specific 'Cultural and Protocol' Centre that tours with dances, mekes, songs from different islands. I am on Community Centre however we have found there are numerous opportunities for us to also bring songs from Samoa, Tonga, and Fiji etc... into our ministries including schools, nursing homes, and fundraisers. I currently have learned two dances: a fijian meke and a cook island dance and am working on what is called a 'sasa' from Samoa- a hand clap routine leading into the men's 'slapdance'. I've included a few pictures from a fundraiser for Island Wave Missions that asked us to perform our Fijian Meke. You never know what God will call you do when you step out into being used by Him!
