This year, we welcome two distinguished instructors:
Ms. Shizuka Sagawa, a rising talent known for her work in eurhythmics for active seniors, and Ms. Chisa Umasugi, widely recognized for her contributions to eurhythmics in the field of developmental support for children.
In addition to their areas of expertise, each class will take a comprehensive holistic approach on a single topic that transcends the boundaries of the three core Dalcroze subjects.
