Energetic dancing

My Wonderful Extension Dancing Members
They are fantastic dancers forever! I belong to the soran-bushi team at MFWI, and I'm the leader. Our group did special traditional Japanese dance at Valleyfest about a week ago. Why did I join the soran-bushi dancing team? I have two reasons I joined. First, I will spend a great time with my teammates in the team. My team's 90% Junior Collage students. They are quick to understand how to dance soran-bushi. Almost all team members are experienced dancers since they were young. It is easy to me to show them how to dance. They have a high motivation soran-bushi. Soran-bushi has a lot of lively movements. However, my team members don't complain about being able to dance anymore. In my case, first day of soran-bushi dancing practice was terrible when I learned about it from my friend in last semester. I couldn't do lively movements, and I also could't use my brain, because it is very difficult for me to understand how to dance choreographicly. However, my team can do it , and they can dance everything well. I'm very excited about performing soran-bushi in front of people at Valleyfest. Second, I also learn how to lead people. My first impression of my leadership it was tricky!!!!! It is difficult to show how to teach soran-bushi choreography to my team, because they have a own sensitivity for dancing. However, If I felt that there are a few disagreeable points in their dancing, I have to fix what they should do. In my case, I'm a kind of strict person when I'm leader of team or club, because I'm in a responsible position on the team now. I know that I don't have to say strongly, because some people feel uncomfortable. However, I sometimes do it. I'm still learning how to control people when I want to them do something. I'm having a wonderful time with them, and I can't wait to perform in front of a lot of people at Valleyfest.

My Valuable Southwest Trip

By
Last week, we took a trip to the Southwest for 7 days. This trip was an absolutely wonderful memory. I had never been to these areas so I was stimulated by every things, for example, cactus, adobe style buildings, Native American culture and amazing dessert views. It is one of the most interesting trips I ever took, because I experienced some rare things like visiting Grand Canyon, visiting high school and so on. On this trip I could understand about Indian culture from a folk art museum. I would like to introduce some my best memories on this Southwest trip. My first best memory is Georgia O’Keef museum. Actually, before this trip, I was not familiar with her and didn’t know about any of her artworks, but I was looking forward to visiting here because I like art museums. Her artworks were very unique, abstract and absolutely fabulous, and these were very fresh to me. I especially liked bone’s paintings which one of the most famous her artwork, because the color contrast is very c...

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

By
I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in  Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican ...

Completely amazing trip

I had a good time visiting the Southwest USA with Extension students from 15 to 21, October. It was an education trip and I experienced new things and there was a lot of nature which is comfortable for me. I was looking forward to going on the Southwest trip for a long time. I have image that the Southwest is very hot but this place was cold than Spokane. It was interesting that the temperature was totally different in the same place. There were three emotions that I experienced on this trip. First, I was moved by the beautiful landscape of the Grand Canyon. It is absolutely enormous. When I look down the cliff, I remembered the teacher's caution for us that there are lots of people who die and I scared. I and my roommate wanted to see the sunrise so we tried to got up at 4:00 a.m. and then we could see the sunrise which was really fabulous. After that, we decided to rent a  bicycle but we changed our mind and because we had lots of time. Surprisingly, we walked 10 miles aro...
