Dancing to the Drums of Ryukyu

August 14, 2013 1 min read

The folk dance of the historical Ryukyu kingdom, traditionally performed before the King & Queen, reenacted on a smaller scale.

Many photos have been included of the various steps hoping that seeing these in quick succession will also convey the depth of the drum beats and the loud whistling to which everyone danced.
