This is a scan (from Ishiguro-san's website) of the article that appeared in the Kyoto Shimbun recently about contra dance. Notice the handsome man at left...The photo was taken at the August (?) Fushimi dance.

Thank you Arigatou Merci
Well, the NHK "Emergency Dance" went GREAT!! A big thank you so much to everyone who showed up, and especially Ishiguro-san for working so hard to make it happen. We had a great time; it was a lot of fun watching everyone being interviewed. All the good spirit and wonderful things about contra dance really showed through in people's responses. Everyone was so sincere and warm, and most of all, joyful. And when the interviewer joined the dance, everyone really made it be and look so easy for him. It went perfectly, so thank you everyone!
A special MERCI BEAUCOUP to Armelle for coming through at the last minute and playing wonderful European folk music for us! In case anyone would like to hear her perform more, she is playing again tomorrow, this Sunday 10/25 that is, at "Alphabet Avenue", which is a bar at Pontochou douri
and Shijo. The show starts at 9:00 PM and also features another accordionist named Ryotarou. The event is free of charge.
The NHK segment will air on the 10th of November sometime after 6PM on NHK channel 1. The name of the show is Kyo no ichinichi. (Unfortunately, this is 3 days AFTER our event in Fushimi, Zannen!)
Otsukaresama. See you all in Fushimi on the 7th and Takano on the 21st.

final info on "Emergency Dance"
Well, the (so called) Emergency Dance is today at 1PM on the Kamo River, just south of Imadegawa, on the west side. We will be dancing for about an hour, and then having a picnic. The weather report predicts cloudy but dry weather, in the 20's (66 F). Some people will be meeting at Demachiyanagi Station at 1PM, and the location is a minute or two from there.
We were very lucky to find a very special musician to perform for us. (The lovely and talented ;-) Armelle from Auvergne (??), France will be playing traditional and original accordion music. She is realy wonderful to listen and dance to, so do come if you can!
If you can't find us when you arrive, we can be reached by keitai at 070 6475 5855 and email at davidcrespo@wm.pdx.ne.jp
Naturally, bring utensils, cups, plates, and if you can, a dish for the picnic.
We don't know very much about how the filming will be proceed, except that the name of the show is Kyo no Ichinichi. It is on the local NHK (channel 1 ?), and airs every weekday from 6 to 7 PM. It's a kind of local news and events show.
The premise of the segment will be that they will be walking along the Kamo with a certain rakugo talent (I don't know his name), and they will see us and come over to "check it out." The rakugo performer will then try to learn to dance, and so on...
See you soon....

emergency dancers needed!!!
We need dancers for an EMERGENCY DANCE this Saturday from 1 to 3 PM.
Why the emergency? Well, NHK has offered to shoot a segment about contra dance in Kyoto to promote the concert and dance in Fushimi on November 7 (http://contrakyotoupcoming.blogspot.com/2009/10/sat-november-7th-fushimi-concert-and.html)
BUT they are only available to shoot this Saturday.
If you want to share a little limelight, no matter what level dancer you are or how often you have come, we would love the help. This is a great opportunity for us, and it would be wonderful to get as many people as possible to attend. We know it is terribly short notice, but if you think you can help us out in any way, please let us know.
At this point, we are still arranging a suitable location, perhaps the Takano Hall, Fushimi, or perhaps even outside by the river. We will send out more information as it is decided, perhaps at the last minute, so please stay posted...
thanks in advance....david and yukie
