I'm Eiren Nishikawa. I'm a Nihon Buyo dancer and live in Kyoto, Japan.

Nihon Buyo is Japanese traditional dance. It is danced by Maiko, Geisya ,Kabuki actors and lots of Japanese people.

From Nihon Buyo that emphasizes beauty, you can learn "beautiful posture and gestures" that will increase your attractiveness.

In Nihon Buyo, you use a lot of your core and muscles, unlike its appearance. If you move correctly, you will be sweating.

Even those who are not good at dancing are okay. I will give lecture step by step on each movement.

In this course, you can learn basic movement of Nihon Buyo, exercise based on Nihon Buyo and how to dance "Fujimusume".

In addition, you can learn about history of Nihon Buyo and Fujimusume with pictures and video.

Fujimusume is one of the most famous program of Nihon Buyo. It has been loved by Japanese people for hundreds of years.

Nihon Buyo's music is played by Syamisen (Japanese guitar) or Koto (Japanese harp) and so on.

You can enjoy those Japanese traditional music through Nihon Buyo.

I hope you can enjoy Nihon Buyo and be interesting Japanese traditional culture more and more.

This is my first lesson for students who live in foreign countries.

I'm looking forward to see you in this course. Thank you.
