TRADITIONAL JAPANESE DANCES

Some of the traditional dances of Japan include:

1. Kabuki dance2. Noh Mai3. Nihon Buyo

Kabuki danceKabuki is a classical Japanese dance-drama. Kabuki theatre is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by some of its performers. Kabuki is sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing".

Noh Mai

The origin of the Noh Mai can be traced back to as far as the thirteenth century. Noh Mai is a dance that is done to music that is made by flutes and small hand drums. Noh Mai dances are put together by a series of forms. Forms are patterns of body movements that are done elegantly and with beauty.

Nihon Buyō

Nihon Buyō is different from most other traditional dances. It is intended for entertainment on stage. Nihon Buyō is a refined dance that has been improved throughout four centuries.  Nihon Buyō takes a few key elements from Noh such as the circular movements and the tools used in its dances.
