Utah Arts Festival

What a blast! We had so much fun last weekend. There were so many shows, dancing, music, 100 degree weather! Our favorite thing this year was the Salt Lake Capoeira and Samba Fogo.The Salt Lake Capoeira is a dance/fighting group backed by drum beats. The guys (and girl) did amazing flips and kicks at each other without ever touching each other.
Samba Fogo was the firedancing. This woman wore gloves with fingers of fire (pictured above), one baton, and two batons. She put some of the flames out on her tongue and rolled the fire across her arm. IT was SO cool! Not to forget the drummers, they were amazing. Music like that is so raw and exotic.

Over by the entrance they had working urban artists. These are our favorites. I still can't figure out how they do that with spray paint. It's so amazing that they have that much control.

The Filthy Gorgeous fashion show this year was pretty different. The dancers were a great addition, I couldn't help but get an 80's feeling though. I guess trends do tend to repeat themselves. Legwarmers and ponchos anyone? ANyway, I do want this hat. Where could I wear it? I really can't say, but I like it.

Really, it was just fun to hang out, my mom and sister were here from Boise, Sara and Brianne came and as Sara likes to say, we were talking like relief society women. Just how I like it :)
