What a great assembly!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Today, Awa Odori dancers visited from Japan to perform for our Jr. Raiders!!! Awa Odori has a long history of over 400 years beginning on the island of Shikoku in Tokushima, Japan. An Awa Odori dance group is called a ren. The Awa Dance Festival is held every year in August in Tokushima. It is the largest dance festival in Japan, attracting over 1.3 million tourists every year. About 1,000 dance groups perform during the four days of the festival each summer. The dancers who visit us today are the Taiko Ren from Nagoya, Japan. Taiko-ren was formed in 1971. The leader Shigeki Ito was fascinated by the powerful and expressive Awa Odori and asked his friends to dance together. Thank you to all the community members for hosting, Marcie Johnson for hosting dancers, everyone that attended the welcome potluck, helped with transportation and made this possible! Special thanks to Sarah Clark for her incredible efforts to coordinate this special assembly for our students!!! We are so appreciative!
