They may sound difficult at first glance, but they can actually be made simple with a few simple tricks. By training in the basics, participants can master the cool moves of artists and the mysterious movements of performers. I’ll share with you in an easy-to-understand way the imagination and intuition I’ve cultivated through dance. I’ll provide thorough support, so please feel free to come and join me! Message: I feel that modern dance is becoming more about “sensation” than “proof.” Of course, dance steps and genres can still be categorized as “hip-hop” or “house.” However, I believe that there is no “single correct answer” when it comes to the broader framework of dance. That’s why, in order to enjoy free, open-ended dance, it’s important to master the fundamentals of expanding your range of movement, such as isolation and rhythm. Let’s hone our foundations together and create “your own dance” that only you can create! ■ Instagram: @ryuchan_0820 ■ For major performances and lesson videos, please see here ▷▷Miku◁◁
