I’ve been a dancer all my life. Even as a baby I would dance in my car seat. These last few years have been rough on me. My body won’t let me dance anymore and even more recently knitting is starting to hurt me. I need to start taking medications for this. But it won’t fix my knees or back. I’ve been a ballerina mostly and jazz dancer after that but I’ve also done some tap, modern, swing, ballroom, even a bit of hip hop. But my favorite was Eisa. It’s a traditional Okinawan dance to the Taiko drum. I miss my Taiko drums too. They are in storage. I need to find some where to teach me Eisa again. I miss it so so much. I have a few tapes with the music but I can’t remember it all.
