A Double Dutch team whose activities center around Shibuya. In Double Dutch, jumpers between two turning ropes perform freestyle dance moves and acrobatics to music. We aim for a performance that can help move people’s hearts in a positive way. Coronavirus has gotten everyone down, but we hope this will be a time for surprise, delight, and excitement.

Music
The Loose Bossa+
Duo featuring masayo on vocals and melodica, and Koyama on guitar and ukulele who play jazz pieces and Japanese songs based on bossa nova.
Originally in the same jazz combo, the duo is constantly exploring how far it can enjoyably go with musical expression as a “duo,” the smallest musical unit. Although the duo sometimes welcomes guest performers, its strong point is in the “loose” and laid-back atmosphere suggested by the unit name.

Tahitian dance
Tahitian dance team HINATEA
We are a Tahitian dance team in our second year of operation since forming. Tahitian dance is still relatively little known, but it is said to be the forerunner of the more famous Hula dance. Tahitian dance can be broadly divided into two types, both engaging and invigorating: Otea, a flamboyant group dance to percussion rhythms, and Aparima, in which hand gestures are used to tell stories. We practice hard in lessons every day so that we can convey the appeal of Tahitian dance. Today we bring you a little bit of Tahiti with our dancing!

Tsugaru Shamisen

Yosakoi
Tokyo YOSAKOI Team Sun
A Yosakoi team whose activities center around the Kanto region. The team’s unique Yosakoi style incorporates elements of hip hop and jazz dance into traditional Yosakoi. The team name “SUN” is a nod to the concept of team members shining brightly, like the sun. The team has garnered many awards at festivals such as two consecutive victories at the Tokyo Yosakoi Festival.
Neither is the team’s scope of activities limited to festivals; it also engages in activities to develop reach and recognition of Yosakoi through appearances in commercials, on TV, in live concerts, etc.

Flamenco
“Primaveras”
Primavera means “spring” in Spanish. There is a saying that “spring always follows winter,” and it is a law of nature that even cold and harsh winter turn into warm and hopeful spring. We will be performing in the hope of delivering through flamenco a happy smile-inducing spring to everyone who came to see us during these difficult times under coronavirus, and hope this will cheer everyone up.
With much gratitude and love, we hope you enjoy the passionate flamenco of Spain.
