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.

Unforgettable Southwest Trip

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 ...

Fabulous Southwest Trip

The Southwest trip was absolutely amazing because I leaned the culture of the area a lot. I spent 7 days in the southwest and I impressed by people who live there and by their culture. These things were totally different from Japan and the people there preserved their traditions carefully. I talk to a lot of Americans and I saw wonderful nature during the trip. There are three absolutely wonderfu and amazing places that I enjoyed. First, I went to a lot of museums and all of them were very interesting. I especially liked The Museum of International Folk Art. The museum has more than 130,000 objects from more than 100 countries! My favorite object was a smiling skeleton doll. This object’s theme was Day of The Dead. When I saw it, I remembered COCO which is a Pixar movie. I also liked The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Georgia O’Keeffe was an American artist and she painted a lot of flowers and nature. I think her paintings are brimming with kindness ...

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...
