The Origin of Japanese Leg Lift Dance

Japanese leg-lifting dance is a combination of traditional Japanese dance and modern western dance.

Influenced by the social atmosphere at that time, the dance world changed its previous belief of pursuing westernization and taking western dance as the standard, and frankly admitted that the Japanese were born short and could not fully express the slender lines pursued by ballet. Blindly following other people's dance aesthetics is like squeezing into shoes that don't fit, and neither body nor soul can be free. Two Japanese artists, Xiao Ye and Kazuo and Tatsumi Hijikata, combined traditional Japanese dance with modern western dance to create Japanese dance.

Japan, the capital of Tokyo for short, is located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is an arc island country extending from northeast to southwest, including Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu and more than 6,800 other small islands.
