Traditional Japanese Dance Performance
Japanese traditional dance possesses a captivating beauty that can envelop and hold one's gaze. It is precisely this overwhelming allure that gives rise to the notion of "dancing with the heart." Additionally, Japanese traditional dance is not merely a physical act of dancing; it is a form of performing art. Adorned in traditional costumes, I strive to express each movement with utmost grace and beauty.
I offer traditional Japanese dance performances. I will highlight as well your cultural and commercial events, as well as your private parties.
You will emerge in the poetry of traditional Japanese dance thanks to outstanding Kimonos, traditional Japanese instruments players and singers and a unique dance method that will give you and your audience a special moment through traditional Japan.
My Style
In Japan, it is customary for students of Japanese dance to learn choreography solely from their instructors. However, as a freelance Japanese dancer, I take on the responsibility of creating my own choreography. I passionately explore new artistic territories, pushing the boundaries of traditional Japanese dance and bringing my own innovative style to the forefront. With my unique aesthetic sense and a desire to convey specific messages, I infuse my choreography with personal expression, my individuality and artistic vision, creating captivating and meaningful dance pieces.
Collaborations
With Ritsuko Takeyama, Koto player
The Koto is a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument that typically features 13 strings. The player plucks the strings with picks worn on the fingers, creating a beautiful and melodic sound. The Koto is an essential instrument in traditional Japanese music, often used in various classical, folk, and contemporary compositions. Through the collaboration of Japanese dance and the koto, we offer performances that allow people to experience a more authentic Japanese. atmosphere.
