Please come and see it at the venue on the day. 【Aims of “Dance Work Created with Elementary School Students in Toshima Ward”】 1. Providing
Opportunities for Self-Expression – In the curriculum guidelines, dance is positioned as an “expressive movement,” and students are expected to “express the feelings they want to express and dance while capturing the characteristics of the dance.” – Therefore, we provide a place where children can develop self-expression through high-quality instruction from professional dancers. 2. Eliminating disparities in experience opportunities – While dance is popular among young people, there are not enough learning environments to accommodate the sudden increase in demand. – By creating a system where anyone can
participate for free, we aim to provide the opportunity for everyone to participate, regardless of their family’s financial situation, and work to reduce disparities. [About TOSHIMA STREET FES 2025] Image
