To match the traditional Japanese feel of the music, it’s a great idea to incorporate elements of Nihon-buyo (Japanese classical dance) into the choreography.
Prepare an easy-to-move-in, furisode-style costume and dance as if you yourself are a doll wearing a furisode.
It’s a perfect choice when you want to perform a dance that’s a little different from the others at an event.
