Yasue started performing Eisa, an Okinawan traditional drumming dance, when she was at high school.  Yasue fell in love with the dance and she sees it as a tool to express herself.

"People often tell me that I'm talkative.  But I think dancing Eisa expresses me better than words", Yasue says.

In the audio, Yasue explains about Eisa dance and talks about the upcoming Okinawan traditional cultural event , which will be held on the 10th of November in Sydney.
