-踊って、魅せて、惚れさせる-
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!
