Yosakoi Soran- Haiku Poem by Elena Sandu

Gift of everything
Evening dance created time
For smiles, rehearsal.







'Evening dance created time'
comes from the witnessing of a touching moment.
The stage was coloured, full. Loud drums and flutes. In front of the watching crowd, a woman was struggling to keep her phone up,
she was in a video call, camera facing the stage caught
dancing people, while on the other side of the call the screen shown a young man on a hospital bed, he took off his oxygen mask, smiled and tried to mimic a dance movement raising his arms.
That evening, Yosakoi dance festival, created smiling time for the young man in a hospital.
