I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 Classical Japanese Dance Recital by Hanayagi Dance Academy today (Sunday, February 28th). Women and children, young and old, entertained a large crowd at the Asian American Cultural Center on Jollyville Road in Austin.
Below are some pictures from the event. For more pictures, go to my Flickr page.
