It provides participants with an opportunity to learn the charms and values that are fundamental to traditional performing arts, which are difficult to obtain by experiencing only 1 type. In addition to gaining knowledge and skills from top instructors, participants can also interact with professional performers and friends who teach them in the Geinokadensha space, where professional art organizations gather. [Environment for participants to continue hands-on experience (practice) of traditional performing arts] our club will continue to offer classes from next year onwards, and will provide opportunities for participants who wish to continue experiencing cultural arts. Although it has not yet been decided whether a special course will be established next year or later, participants who are interested in a particular traditional performing art can be individually introduced to an appropriate instructor.
