In this five-session course (75 minutes each class), you will master the basic techniques of using Japanese dance fans in the "Basara Mai®" style. You will also learn combinations of these techniques and practice dancing to music, enhancing your expressive abilities.

The first half of the course focuses on thoroughly learning the basic techniques. In the second half, you will experience the joy and nuances of dancing to music with a designated piece.

With a maximum of four participants, you will receive personalised instruction and feedback in a small group setting.

Upon completing this course, you will be ready to progress to the next level.
