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. ↓↓
