The Polynesian Paradise Dancers performed at the Malibu Library as part of the Friends of Malibu Library summer reading program on Wednesday afternoon.
Children and their families filled the room in anticipation of the performers dancing to traditional Polynesian music.
Children did not hesitate at the opportunity to participate in a hula dance lesson. The dancers taught a variety of tradition Polynesian dances in traditional colorful dress and later spoke about Polynesian culture.
