About This Class
We welcome international dancers who are serious about improving for an intensive stay in Tokyo and Chiba.
This development program lets you join all Westie Tokyo classes and events while also taking concentrated private lessons.
We also provide opportunities to experience Japanese culture and everyday life through multiple home visits or homestays. The goal is a residential growth experience where your perspective expands not only through dance, but through relationships with people.
