Danse du Jour

[shanmonster]

I think this clip is both unusual and excellent. It's a tap performance, choreographed by The Stripes, used in the finale of Takeshi Kitano's Zatoichi. It's not every day I get to see taiko drumming paired with a huge tap sequence done in kimonos and Mugen slippers.

I love that movie!!!! Well worth checking out the whole thing. There are a few geisha dance solos that are absolutely lovely.
