In the previous post, I wrote about online Kamigatamai lessons: Ume/beginners’ class.



In this article, I’m going to write details about classes of Dances with music.



Here is about Tehodoki-basics.



・・・・・



梅/Ume class is for people who have never tried Japanese traditional dance before or beginners.



Contents of Ume class is like this:


１．Tehodoki-basics (knowledge and basics)
２．dance with music（no props）
３．dance with music（with a dancing fan）
４．dance with music （with a dancing parasol）
５．dance with music（with 2 dancing fans）
　～Dance Exam ～


・・・・

・・・・

＜Classes＞


Basics will be 6~7 classes, around 2~2.5 hours in total.



4 dances with music, each song will be 8~10 classes, around 2.5~3 hours in total.




8~10 classes are rough indications, so if you do not remember or want me to check the choreography etc, you can add more classes.




Group lesson starts from 2 classes (40 minutes)
The individual lesson starts from 1 class (20 minutes)





＜Place ＞


　It’s an online lesson, so you can learn from your home.



If you join from your home, it’d be better to have 200cm × 350cm spaces to practice. (2~3 tatami floormats )
　



　When you go on to dances, I will send the music, so please listen to it well.






＜Dance and props＞

You will learn 4 songs, but you do not need to have any props for the first one.
So, you can feel at ease to join if you don’t have fans nor parasols right now.





＜Exam＞


Start from Tehodoki basics, after 4 songs, you can have an exam.



If you pass the exam, you will be the Ogawa and can teach the 4 songs you learn.








＜Dance Party ＞


Depends on the progress, members of the Ume class will have dance parties 3~4 times a year.


In this situation, it’ll be online so far, but fingers crossed for real gatherings!!
　

　





＜Payment ＞

The payment is monthly/pre-payment, and you can choose how many times you’ll learn in a month.
　

So, you can start once a month ♪
