Dancing Girls VII

Posted by Mike Cash (Kiryu, Japan) on 24 November 2007 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

After accompanying the dance troupe on a hospital visit to entertain the elderly patients, I went with some of them back to their studio and we spent about three hours shooting the breeze. Two of the girls then had their regular lesson and I stayed around to take some photos. Each lesson begins and ends with the teacher and students kneeling and bowing to each other. Here is one of the girls at the close of the lesson getting ready to bow and being blinded by the flash going off in her eyes.
