Tonight’s night activity definitely got us pumped as the 6 African Jabali acrobats danced to African music, jumped, flipped and balanced around Jacob’s Gym. They played limbo and started out simply. Slowly, they lowered the bar – lower and lower and lower – until the man dressed in a shiny blue uniform with long dreadlocks was practically crawling until the rope. Then, all the men played jump rope and did cool tricks like flips and head stands while jumping rope. Next, a man juggled a ball on a stick that he was holding in his mouth, and he did all sorts of tricks with it. He threw the ball in the air, and caught it with the stick, and he bounced the ball up and down, without it falling to the floor. We didn’t think it could get more entertaining until another man stacked 4 chairs on top of each other and did head stands and hand stands on the top chair!
Thank you to Alexis, Chayala, Hindy, Frannie, Rebecca, Sol, and Zlati who were great helpers and contributors to the show!
