Yosakoi

For anyone interested in doing Yosakoi, there is a organization called Icchorai NPO (http://www.icchorai.com/) that can help match you up with a Yosakoi group in your area. The website is in Japanese but with the help of rikaichan you can probably navigate the site alright.

For those of you who didn't get a chance to see the performances during the Phoenix Festival and have never heard of Yosakoi before, here's a link to the wiki site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yosakoi) and to a video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbN9bv_zXvs).
