It is probably one of the best known melodies of Japan.This course introduces three variations of the dance: (1) the basic version using a sensu, (2) the basic version using a cherry blossom branch, and (3) the advanced longer version using two sensu. Start with the basic version with a sensu, and once you have mastered it, experiment with other variations.You will also find information on recommended costumes, where to buy sensu, and where to find the music in the resources section at the end of the course.
