General Note
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.
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.
