General Note
Law is skilled at three types of Japanese dance: classical, semi-classical, and folk. The skilled dancer communicates through the use of symbolic hand and eye movements, costuming, fans, and flowers as well as whole body movements and footwork.
Forrest, of Pensacola, has been studying with Law for over four years. The art form provides her with a vital link to her native culture.
