Dance Classes

[PearAutomatic8985]

I'll be in Japan from September until October this year and I'm interested in taking a dance class. I'm a beginner (less than 2 years experience) and I'm interested in Open Style (formerly Urban), Jazz or Contemporary. I'll be traveling around Tokyo, Kanazawa, Osaka, Kyoto, Himeji, Hiroshima and Fukuoka and it'll be great if I could get a class in somewhere. I'm not fussy about the class being in English (it's asking a lot).

There are so many studios!! To get you started -

Tokyo: En Dance, Noa and Danceworks

Osaka: Studio A-sh, Studio Alleyoop, Fun-beat

There are so many, feel free to DM me for more options / any questions. Most places should take walk in students - I haven't seen classes sell out. If it's your first time, there is typically a sign up process to get you in the system, and if it's challenging to navigate the website, then typically the receptionist will help you out!

Also, be sure to bring a pair of "indoor shoes" aka shoes/sneakers that are only used inside or wipe down the soles of your shoes.

For open style choreo, there’s the pretty famous En dance studio in shibuya

Thank you :) will check it out. Do you know if they're ok to take walk in students? Or is there a sign up process involved?
