Cross-cultural dancers appear
Joe Kline/Idaho State Journal Dancers perform during the BYU Living Legends production at Frazier Hall on Thursday evening. The show combines Native American, Polynesian, and Latin Amercan dancing performed by descendants of the cultures.

Eva Big Horse jingled each time she moved.

The 24-year-old Cayuga and Navajo woman was dressed in a tribal outfit adorned with silver bells that ran across her sleeves and down her long skirt.

Big Horse was surrounded by other performers who were dressed just as elaborately. Some wore feathered headdresses while some men showed off their Polynesian styles with bare chests and leaf-woven necklaces.

Big Horse and her comrades are part of the Living Legends performance group, a multiethnic ensemble from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. The group, which was first organized in 1971, is on a tour that stopped at Fort Hall's Sho-Ban High School and Idaho State University's Frazier Hall Thursday.
