MESSAGE

Shizukuro Hanayagi
When I was a child, I think that Oita was also a region where Japanese dance was popular. As the population of Japanese dance is declining due to the aging of the population, when I wondered what I could do in my hometown of Oita, I told him that it was so much fun to let him know more about dance through dance. I would like to carry out activities that will help to revitalize Japanese dance in my hometown of Oita.

Mr. Mishojiro Hanayagi
I am slightly modifying the choreography that I usually do in the Yabu-za, and I put sign language in the lines and dance. There are also children, so it's more fun to watch than Japanese dance, and it's a dance that makes you laugh. I think there are sad things because various things are restricted by the corona disaster, but today I forget about those things and see "Momotaro" which is fun for a day and the wonderful things of Japanese dance classics, and everyone feels a little fun. I would appreciate it if you could become.
