Japanese dance is a traditional dance developed from Kabuki dance in Japan. It's a dance for anyone and has no age limits ranging from children to elderly people.

The images of Japanese dance are often old and stiff, but it is actually a dance full of expressions of imagination and enthusiasm which requires controlled body movements making it a unique and interesting dance. Furthermore, another uniqueness is to cooperate with traditional Japanese music. The traditional Japanese music contains Shamisen (three-stringed musical instruments), Taiko (Japanese drum) and other various Japanese instruments which you will experience a new world of performing arts.

Japanese style fitness training is very popular in Japan and staying healthy is a major concern for the younger generation now-a-day.  Learning Japanese dance will exercise the muscles which are not normally used and it requires lots of energy.  Therefore, with the expectation on achieving good health and stay slim, Japanese dance is getting popular in Japan.   

Through Japanese dance, you will enrich yourself with sensibility and virtues. Hong Kong is famous for a its fast pace and hectic life style; therefore, let's be spiritually rich together with an addition element of "Wa – Japanese style" and harmony to our everyday life.

日本舞踊是歌舞伎發展而來的日本傳統舞蹈，是一种男女老少皆宜的有益身心的活動。日本舞以往給人的印象是枯燥而死板的，但實際上卻是利用身體語言來表現豐富的内心感情、自然美景以及講述各種故事的獨特表演藝術；日本舞另一個與衆不同之処是舞蹈配合傳統的三味綫、太鼓等其他特有的日式樂器，將我們帶進一個不同尋常的新世界。現今日本年輕的一代通過日式傳統艺术进行身體訓練的人不斷增加，因爲這種訓練可為他們帶來健康和減肥的效果。正是因爲訓練平時不常使用的肌肉，因此運動量也相當大。我們一方面通過日本舞來培養“和”的寬宏感性，另一方面也通過對品格的訓練而達到發掘一個嶄新的自我。舞蹈“和”的元素加在香港繁忙的生活節奏中，就能夠享受心靈充實的每一天了。
