Twenty-six color slides. Toro Huaco were a Nicaraguan dance group, including Jose Silva and his apprentice Jose Silva. They were from Pembroke Pines. Hymn liner Demps and his apprentice Wright; both were from Orlando. And Japanese dancer Kazuko Law (of Gulf Breeze) with her apprentice Ofuyu Raiko Forrest (of Pensacola). They performed as Wako Kai. The Folk Arts Apprenticeship Program began in 1983 with a NEA grant of $22,000. The program provided an opportunity for master folk artists to share technical skills and cultural knowledge with apprentices in order to keep the tradition alive. Apprentices must have had some experience in the tradition and agreed to train for at least six months. The first project director was Blanton Owen, later replaced by folklorist Peter Roller. The program was continued each year through at least 2006.

Description
The tradition of hymn lining is uniquely African-American. The practice of lining hymns can be traced back to the 17th century when printed hymnals were scarce and many churchgoers—both slaves and whites—could not read. A church elder or minister who could read would "line out," or recite a hymn line by line, which in turn was repeated by the congregation. These hymns, such as "Amazing Grace" or "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," remained and evolved in African-American churches after the end of slavery. For Albert Troy Demps of Orlando, this tradition was passed on to him by his mother during the Great Depression, when musical instruments were scarce and times were hard. As Deacon at the Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church, Demps continues to practice hymn lining, and he believes there is a more focused connection with the Holy Spirit among the congregation when the hymnal is set aside.
