Hahaha! Culture! Not to be too cynical, but an event which involves tiny girls in far too short dresses all doing the same dance in different national costumes and boys either prancing about in tribal dress banging hollow drums or jumping over impressive sized sports horses is not as varied as the title suggests.
I do admit that it was a nice show for parents, though, due to it being much more anally organised and coordinated than anything I was ever in as a kid.
Encho sensei does an annual magic show...the dance he came exploding onstage to is apparently called "The moustache dance" and was popular about 15 years ago. So, a typical old dude then, really, sticking firmly to his memories. I do admire his ability to make fun of himself, though (see video below) and think he's not such a bad sort. It was pretty funny halfway through his piece de resistance of making a handkerchief float, when a little kid shouted out "I can see strings!" See the vid.
They really could have offered us a seat, after going to the trouble of inviting us on a Saturday bloody morning. I may not have been so cynical if I was sitting down for the 2 and a half hours we stayed for. Lower back pain is not the phrase!
