Halloween Bon Dance
Admittedly, it was the weirdest gig I’ve ever done. We donned our kimonos and led a bon dance for a cafeteria full of children dressed in their Halloween costumes. It was quite surreal, dancing “Shichigwachi Eisa”, looking back and seeing a 6-year-old Dracula dancing in step with me.
We danced 5 songs and it seemed quite enough for me. The kids seemed more interested in the shave ice and cotton candy outside, but at least we had a small group of diehards who stuck with us until the end.
As always, it was great seeing bruddah Keith and the bon dance folks. Hopefully, the kids enjoyed it, too.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
aww .. sounds like such a great thing for the keiki. i’m sure they enjoyed it, just as much as they enjoyed the shave ice.
