What is NIHON-BUYO？

Nihon Buyo is one of the traditional dances of Japan. It is the same dance that Maikos and Geishas learn and perform. Unlike Kabuki, which is forbidden to women, or without having to learn to become a Maiko from a young age, Nihon Buyo can be learned and enjoyed by anyone, regardless of gender, age and nationality.

About me

Chinami Hananomoto  
I am a certified teacher from the Hananomoto Japanese Dance School.One of the reasons why I started to teach online Japanese dance (Nihon Buyo) lessons for an international audience is that I was greatly influenced by my mother, who is an English teacher, and by my aunt, who was a traditional Japanese dancer.
From a young age, I was taught Nihon Buyo by my aunt; however, since Nihon Buyo can be very slow, I sometimes felt bored as an energetic little girl. One day, my mother invited her Canadian friend to go watch my aunt dance.As my mother’s friend watched, I could see her eyes sparkling with delight, and to this day, I could never forget the joy on her face.
The traditions of Japan are at times very difficult to understand, even for us Japanese people. For this reason, I am filled with gratitude and respect since you are taking an interest in our traditional culture. I invite you to join my class and learn Japanese culture with me!
