Dancing Strawhatz - Kimono
Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2018 8:34 pm
A couple of member photo posts reminded me of this video from a few years ago. It's one of my favorites. 
This would have been a lot of fun to be in, or to shoot. If you haven't seen the video before, it's a mix of an ancient culture "look" with new dance and music. I don't normally have an interest in hip-hop, but I find that in this context it's rather enjoyable. I particularly like the choreography for the geishas. They exhibit a lot of power in their movements, especially in their first sixteen counts. The camera angle helps.
Just in case you are wondering, I don’t think that the video is meant to be disrespectful to anyone's culture. Just enjoy it as performance art… and turn up the volume.
Happy New Year!
