Anyway, The Showa festival really was nice. It felt like being at someone's barbecue, except with Bento boxes, and then they actually sang and danced this song at the end. The kids got to play the Taiko... which was a really expensive one I think. It wasn't till all the kids were banging on it that I really looked and noticed that the body was all one piece. I.e. from one tree. I guess I'm the only one who cared because of my background in the Lion Dance drumming. Then again, compared to tuition at SHOWA, or some other maintenance or administrative cost of the school, or a shuttle bus, or something like that, the drum isn't that expensive. I guess it's all relative.
What is Kung Fu and lion dance? Part self defense and fighting, part meditation and culture and part performance with drums and arts and crafts. Come and learn this art on Saturdays at 108 Stirling Road. Warren, NJ We work with Murray Hill Chinese School which also offers many other programs both cultural, academic and athletic.
