Dance Rehearsal

My Saturday started off like any other saturday- Lazily!! As usual, I skipped breakfast and opted to finish all the sleep that I had forfitted during the week. I would have kept my lazy self in bed had it not been a phone call alerting me that I was scheduled to participate in a creative art piece.
It turns out that all those first days excitements of signing up for each and every activity are still catching up with me. In the first days when I arrived here. I signed up to attend a party. At the time, I didnt know the details but sometime last week, my course coordinator mentioned it again.

It turns out that I had signed up for a party being hosted by the local Rotarians in Okinawa. They had sent out an invitation for 10 OIC participants. Yesterday, I came to learn that the Rotarians want us (OIC participants) to prepare something cultural..since the majority of the people who signed up are Africans, an African beat was automatically chosen.
The ten participants are from Samoa , Tz, Kenya, Uganda, Macedonia, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Belize and El Savador.

So in the meeting we had yesterday, we agreed to make a short dance. It was drama coming up with the right beat! At the end of the day, we settled for a mid tempo south African song. The rehearsal went ok, we are trying as much as possible to incorporate all the traditional dances from each participant's country. Rehearsal continues tomorrow.

After rehearsal, it was internet, dining, internet and sleeping in that order:)
