Refreshing and invigoratingSukotto Erikuson, Gōdon Guddouin
Disney Natsu Matsuri, held at Tokyo Disneyland from 2012 to 2018, was a unique event inspired by Japanese summer festival fairs (ennichi).
Among its offerings, Soryo Kobu—a performance staged in front of Cinderella Castle—featured a Japanese-style dance that blended the charm of traditional festivals with Disney magic.
A simplified arrangement of the dance uses many linear movements, making it easy to learn, and when everyone dances in sync, it creates a powerful stage performance!
