On a recent afternoon I was back at Ryukyu Mura. One demonstration I was pleased to witness was by this lady dressed in geisha costume and other native dress. She presented several very elegant, colorful native dances. A musician played a sanshin and sang traditional songs.
After watching not only the 'geisha' but a couple of male performers, I was led from my seat out onto the stage area, along with three or four other spectators. We were encouraged to dance along with the performers! EGADS! But I decided there was not another soul there I knew so - why not? Thankfully no one I knew was there to videotape the spectacle either! And I did get a group photo afterwards.
