About me: I am a mother of 4 mixed (Japanese+Carribian American) girls. I lived in New York for 10 years from 1993 to 2003, and worked as a secretary. Now my husband, Cebo and I have dance studios "NXGN New York Studios" in Japan. NXGN stands for "Next Generation". www.NXGNstudios.com
I orgnized the biggest dance event in Chugoku-area in Japan on May 31, 2009 at Okayama Symphony Hall. We had about 1500 audiences and 200 people on stage!
I'd like to introduce New York's dance culture to Japanese people and educate them because there are too much wrong information and BS rules here in Japan. A lot of instructors can't even dance well but force students to dance exactly how the instructors dance. Many of those instructors get mad when their students enter a contest and loose, or when students takes classes at other school/studios. I just don't get it. Also, many Japanese dancers copy moves from New York dancers, but they say their dance is their original and better than NY dancers. (I guess they are saying these stuff because they think NY dancers won't know since NY dancers doesn't speak Japanese??) This old Japanese man said "Hip Hop isn't black culture, but it's a spanish culture" on the most famous dance magazine in Japan! Can you believe that?! So I posted a message on their site saying that he is wrong. But everybody said he should be right because he is a famous dancer in Japan. It shocked me. So,,, I want JP people to understand where street dance came from, and respect the culture and enjoy dancing.
I also started NXGN NY Hustle Association to introduce Hustle Dance to people in Japan. http://gold.ap.teacup.com/shinobuny/
Who I'd like to meet: people who love music and dance
