Does anyone have a ward that does talent shows or hawaiian luau's, or skits for their ward Christmas parties? My last ward in the last few years have been only spiritual events, but I have fond memories of my older wards that did all the fun things I mentioned.
We had Polynesian dancers last year. It was great.
We had Polynesian dancers a couple years ago. It was uncomfortable. There we were, a bunch of people trained not to clap between movements of the symphony. There was the dancer who expected and appreciated crowd feedback in real time. I wish we did things like that more commonly so it would feel more normal.

A member of our ward was the president of the Tonga mission and was very respected by the dancers, so we just followed his lead and a good time was had by all.
