A Movie & Some Anime

Today, we got a double dose of Japanese culture. First, 14 people showed up to watch the original Japanese version of the movie Shall We Dance?. The movie was about a straightlaced Japanese businessman learning to do ballroom dancing and we watched it with subtitles. We took a 1/2 hour break, then had anime club! Some people stayed after the movie, and others came just for anime, so we had a total of 20 people for that. Our drawing challenge this month was "ninjas" and we had the most random collection of entries ever! There were a four normal ninjas and ninja cartoons, then we had ninja versions of a Scotsman, an alien, Mega Man, animals, a jellyfish, among other things. And, although both events were great, we probably had the most fun in between them when I taught everyone some Charleston swing dance and the "cheater" waltz! We will have to have some basic dance classes in the future.
