The Ballet Folklorico Guadalupano, traditional Mexican dancers from Asheboro, was among the groups performing at Randolph Community College’s World Stage event on Tuesday, Sept. 15, on the Asheboro Campus. About 125 people gathered at RCC to enjoy the entertainment and sample food from various cultures.
Asheboro Kenjutsu instructor John Sutton demonstrated his experience in several Japanese martial arts, including Togakure, Nito Kendo, and Iaido. Other entertainment at RCC’s World Stage included Japanese Taiko drumming, Carolina Fusion cloggers, a Riverdance performance by Hanna Williams of Studio J in Asheboro, a yoga demonstration by Jacquie Reininger, a dulcimer performance by Ben Talbot, and a video from a trip to Nanjing Normal University in China by RCC photography instructor John Rash and 10 RCC students in May.
Japanese Taiko Drumming is characterized by choreographed arm and body movements and has cardiovascular benefits. The Earth Spirit Taiko Drumming group who performed included instructor Jim Sink, Wayne Harris, Martha Bisher, Joanne Martell, Lisa Johnson, and Susan Jarrett. Sink teaches a class in this type of drumming, called Drum For Fun, through RCC’s Continuing Education division.
This was the first in a series of Cultural Arts events planned for the 2009-10 school year. For more information on upcoming events, click here.
