I like the idea of the Japanese Fan Dance.
However, after a bit of research, I came up with no infos. It is hard to make moves to a song if you can't find the traditional moves in the first place. ^_^ Does anybody out there know of anything, any place that'd have more infos? Nix at Powells, or at Barnes and Noble, already checked....*sigh* Webpages, perhaps?
I think it would be a lot of fun to take and find a traditional song, and do some traditional stuff, then mix it slightly so that it morphs into a newer feeling song that we can do some more...well...catchy moves to. ^_^
Think the Diva Dance from Fifth Element *those of you out there who watch Ami stuff*. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, this chickie sings the most beautiful aria, and then it goes like....ass kick techno.
Maybe Techno is not the route to go, but it is super popular in Asia....heck, it's pretty popular just about everywhere but here. ^_^ What does you think?
Dunno if this is outside my jurisdiction, but hey. T'was just a thought.
As I am not familiar with Portland as well as some of you other peeplies, I can't really think of a place to practice.
As for costumes, I had a quickquick chat with Aya-chan and she suggested cosplaying the scene. Loved the idea. But...because of time constraints I thought it'd be groovy to have some cheap over-kimonos to throw on top of whatever else. They'd be easy to make in comparison to a swankyswanky costume. Plus, prolly not as warm. ^_^ Comments, Suggestions?
Hey Aya, how many people are actually going to be in the troupe?
