Hello everyone.




I haven’t introduced about myself on this website.




So, I will post my biography from now on✨ 





・・・


First, my brief biography as a Japanese traditional dancer.


・・・



小川照加 Teruka Ogawa Biography



👘A disciple of the 4th Teru Ogawa, headmistress of Ogawa Lineage of Japanese Traditional Dance of Kamigatamai.




👘 2013: Got permission of 直門名取師範, Jikimon-Natori-Shihan.


(直門/Jikimon means a direct disciple of grandmaster/headmistress. )


(名取/Natori means master of traditional dance. )


(師範/Shihan means accredited master and teacher of dance. )


(When you become Natori, you can have the artist name of your school/lineage and inherit parts of your teacher’s name.)


(My teacher’s name is Teru Ogawa, and I got her name of Chinese character Teru/照, with my name Ka/加 = Ogawa 小川+ Teruka 照加 )




I stared overseas activities in 2013, and here is my brief biography as a Japanese traditional dancer after I became 名取師範, Natori-Shihan. ↓↓
