The Fushimi Concert and Dance was great. Dragskip are really talented, the tap dancers were fascinating, and the singers were heartwarming. But for us the best part was seeing a roomful of people dancing contra with wonderful music and having a wonderful time. It really reminded me of being back home and feeling the energy of a roomful of dancers just grooving to the music. I can really finally say, Contra has arrived in Japan!!!
Tonight we saw our friend Armelle play accordion music and perform a dance piece. It was another truly international event, with Germans, Finns, French, Portuguese (me!), Japanese, and even Americans.
You can see her, and a whole bunch of us, on the segment NHK aired on the 10th...it looked great! Everyone was really having fun, and made it look really easy! Thanks again to everyone who joined us for it on the Kamogawa.
This Saturday we have our next contra...it will be interesting to see if all the recent events bring some new dancers. As a special treat, Romain is coming to teach us some more european folk dance. Plus we will have the usual food, friends, and contra...
