Dance clips from the first big festival of 2007 in Shizuoka City, Japan. Our little Emily got into the fun and was invited to join two groups of dancers who helped her learn the steps. This particular festival is especially large with food vendors and event venues throughout the grounds of the Shogun’s castle and dancers filling the downtown streets. From this particular festival forward there will be smaller festivals held throughout the city nearly every weekend until late September. The people of Shizuoka are known in Japan as very conservative group though they sure do love to dance and party!
