Urasoe City, where OIC is, hosted the 29th Tedako Festival on 23rd of July. OIC participants danced Eisa there.
From MTEC, five participants (Daniella san from Brazil, Minda san from Philippines, Nervious san from Zambia, Jose san from Honduras and Victor san from Dominican Republic) signed up. They practiced it for nine times.
As the last practice, they had a rehearsal on OIC soccer field. It was pity that MTEC participants had missed one practice due to the observation tour. But don't they look great?
Wow!They really look fantastic, don't they? I hope they cherish this experience and memory.
By the way, more details about "Eisa", click here to wikipedia.

The Eisa dance experience will always be an indelible spot on my mind and will keep on reminding me of one of my grandfathers' favourite phrase. Whenever he accomplished a task after some struggle, he would say,"try and try until you succeed". That's exactly what I did when I got the routine right and performed in front of that huge crowd on 23 July. When we started practising, the dance looked so complicated and I almost gave up just after 2 sessions. I am glad my decision to 'try and try' has paid off. My gratitude also goes to my colleagues, Daniella and Minda, for urging me to stay the course. Oh, what a good memory of Okinawa I have for myself!!!
Nervious.
