In April, five members of our group joined the Cherry Blossom Dance Tour of Japan.

 We covered a lot of the country in the 17 days from Sendai in the North to Hiroshima in the South and from Nagano in the West to Narita in the East, eating, sleeping and bathing ‘à la Japonaise’ whenever possible.

 We were warmly welcomed by the local Scottish dance groups wherever we went, and believe we achieved the object of the organiser of this event which was to have fun !

 A fantastic voyage of discovery, enhanced by the generous music and instruction of world-class musicians and teachers.
