The “Bon Odori Course”, which has been released this time, is an introduction to Chisato Otomo’s online Japanese dance course.
In the future, we will start lessons on geisha dance, shosagoto dance, and folk dance, which are popular with foreigners.
We change the kimono every time, explain the kimono and songs, shoot the dance from three directions, and give detailed lectures on the angles of the feet, face, and hands.
The main screen has been flipped so that it is easy to dance by imitating it as if you were looking in the mirror.
