In Japan Club this term students are practicing a traditional Okinawan form of dancing, Eisaa. Eisaa dancers usually play three different kinds of drums while dancing, and the students have made small drums for themselves.
The Year 7 students tried the most popular Eisaa dance, Mirukumunari, in Japanese class, as shown in this video.
For those interested in seeing what Eisaa dance is like, the following YouTube video is the Mirukumunari dance performed by a professional Eisaa dancer.
