    There are a lot of people saying that the dance was bad, but they really need to educate themselves on what the dances mean and about the Geisha culture...

Just thank God He had His favor set upon us to understand the value and the logic behind other people's culture though very unique from our own. That compassion will be passed down through our bloodlines. Unfortunately for dumb people, they'll be weeded out by natural selection:); just as it has always been done.

      If you still want to try a kimono and still have not, I recommend to seek for auctions on eBay. You can buy a quality kimono for just a couple of dollars because Japanese people tend to buy new things and that's why used kimonos are very cheap. A kimono for a geisha is rare and it can still cost over 100-300$, but a beautiful semi-formal made of silk kimono can be bought for 15-20$. I have once bought a stunning kurotomesode for 15$.

      The song title means "four seasons of Kyoto". of course Kyoto was the old capitol of Japan. The lyrics depict different sights of the city and the dance moves flow with lyrics. Example in the beginning the lyrics sings about "higashi yama" which is a mountain, you can see she puts her hand up to shield her eyes as she looks up at to the mountain.
      there's alot of intricacies like this.

      The dancer is a natori, which means a master of dance. This is also one of the first dances a maiko learns, so she would have danced it many many times. It is very unlikely that the dancer would have made a mistake on such a simple dance. The jikata (shamisen player) probably was looking up without too much notice to make sure both are in sync. But I do not believe that it is possible that the dancer made a mistake.
