Dance par-tay!

As rockin’ as one might imagine at a neighborhood festival. Imagine asking your mother to dance on stage, and that’s pretty much how 80% of the evening went (no offense, Mom!). The remaining acts were quite interesting; there were of course middle-aged women in sparkly wigs doing the Numa Numa dance, and some sort of narrative dance that involved a mock wedding ceremony, Pe Yonjun as seen in Fuyu no Sonata followed by what I can only assume to be Korean prostitutes and pregnant people. That one is still sinking in. The kid dancing was the best, since it was quite obvious that the kids themselves had choreographed. Hilarious! There were many kung fu kick moves and a lot of running spastically in circles.
I’m a huge fan of neighborhood festivals, so I thought this was fantastically fun. Especially since I knew all the kids– got a lot of free french fries, candy, and bites of snow cones out of the evening as well. Possibly multiple strains of disease, but I’m trying not to think about that.
