3. Mark expertly juggled to music with a dresto (sp?) a black oblong thing which is juggled with from a string wt two sticks on either end that the juggler holds.

5. Middle eastern dancers Sarah, Dawn and Jessica danced. Jessica did a solo in a dark purple costume with red scarf and dark purple headband in her mass of long dark hair. Her music was not middle eastern, and her style was more polished and less exhilarating than the me dancers.
