Iluminate Writing

We walk into the hall not knowing what was going to happen, everyone sits down and waits quietly. I look at the back of the hall wondering why the windows were covered with black paper? Mr Burt talks a bit about what was going to happen and introduced a lady who had apparently came through our school and saw what we do with chromebooks and how it helps our education, but she brought her friends by the name of iluminate.

Iluminate are a group of dancers but not any ordinary dancer, they dance in the dark and also have light on them which are coded to change color and basically make the performance a lot cooler. There were 3 dancers 2 men and 1 girl. The lights switched off everyone says “OWHHHHH” cause we all know when the lights go off it's going to be a good performance. All of a sudden people were on stage with a costume of lights, They were so cool I couldn't take my eyes off them all the lights were flashing and they were moving around in different formations. From this experience I got to say that's one of the coolest things i've ever seen.

After the performance was finished my mind was blown, I was hoping there was more. After their performance they got changed and our Kapa Haka group done a dance for them to welcome them to New Zealand. The assembly had finished and all the little kids left but the year 7&8’s were lucky enough to stay behind and ask questions. My favourite question and answer was when we asked “how did you start dancing?” One of them said they started having like street battles and learning all the moves and stuff.
