​Interview

President. Moegi Inanaga

 

Q. Why did you set up "Takara of the Japanese Dance Institute?"

I have been learning Japanese dance since my childhood and when I was a sophomore in college I had the opportunity to show Japanese dance in China. At that time, I was pleased that the local people were more than I had expected, and at the same time, I was extremely surprised that people are impressed by the Japanese dance so far. With that, I would like more people to know the charm of Japanese dance regardless of nationality! I thought, "We can learn authentic Japanese dance casually," so we set up the Japanese dance study group "Takara".

3th grade student. Chinami Kaneko

 

Q. What brought you to Japanese dance?

I am interested in Kabuki since I was in junior high school and I am appreciating Kabuki about once a month since I entered college. Because I was fascinated by the world of Kabuki dance, and I thought that I could dance myself ... so I joined this circle,Takara.

Because it is a university circle, it is one of the reasons that you can practice with the same age group.

 

Q. What was good that you joined us?

I am able to touch the world of dancing that I longed for. The practice atmosphere is very pleasant, teacher Makoto also teaches very kindly. Also, being able to become acquainted with international students who are interested in Japanese culture a lot is one of the things I'm glad you entered this circle!

International student. Welmans Lara (Japanese Language Program)

Nice to meet you, Lara! Currently I am majoring in "Contemporary Japanese Studies" at Düsseldorf, Germany, I have been studying in Keio for a year. I went to the experiencing for the first time in September and I enjoyed it very much, so I decided to join.

 

Q. What is good to have been admitted?

"Keio University Japanese Dance club Takara" not only practices dance, but also intercultural communication with people all over the world, you can communicate with other people, you can also improve your communication skills at dinner party etc! Especially for foreign students enjoying Japanese dance which is one of Japanese culture, you can make use of Japanese learned in lesson, so please go to the experiential meeting by all means!
