Business Overview
In modern society, where nuclear families, dual income, low birthrate and aging are accelerating, and children's play is becoming virtual, there is a need to create a new community place where all people can open their minds, prevent isolation, and enjoy together with their friends to maintain their physical and mental health through the creative activity of dance in their daily lives. With the aim of developing dance artists (community dance facilitators) who can respond to the challenges of modern society and create new community spaces, this school has invited Diana Amans and Cecilia MacFarlane from the UK to give an intensive four-day course. It will be the first such event held in the Kanto region. Related projects included "Networking Event" as a place to form a network and exchange among facilitators nationwide, "Workshop by Big Family Tokyo" to build a foundation for community dance activities in the Kanto region centered on school students, and "Project site creation and introduction of professional course students" to visualize information.
