Japan is a country with an ancient culture and beautiful art. The dance performances from our Japanese culture are sure to take everyone on this journey through their heritage, which will be captured beautifully in front of the audience by talented artists.  The Dance of the Lucky Gods is a beautifully intricate performance, full of life and color. This traditional Japanese dance artist has perfected her craft in perfecting this show that switches between four different gods with ease- Longevity God vs Goddess Of Arts And Knowledge. In the Dance Of Lucky Gods, she performs with masks and headdresses that change between gods to show off their power in this ancient ritualistic story from Japan's mythology. The audience is then invited to participate in a dramatic and engaging Japanese mask dance by volunteering. Following this, the Kagura will be discussed with an explanation of how it has been performed at Shinto shrines for centuries and how these traditional rituals are still important today in modern society.

The ancient Japanese myth of the multi-headed serpent is a popular performance art form. The Hyottoko (Funny Man) Dance is one way to go, with its comical portrayal lampoons those who have gone before us. And with its combination of traditional Japanese culture and modern entertainment, this show will be an unforgettable experience for anyone who goes. The Asian Dance Theatre Show is a one-of-a-kind experience. It's like watching an ancient dance performance in the comfort of your own home, only better! You can learn from her performance how to properly wear and use masks as well as routines specific for each type or style that she represents as Balinese Temple dancers or even shadow puppet shows based on traditional Japanese stories. Our Japanese performer has mastered a wide range of Balinese dance in both male and female forms, three main regional styles. She received training from internationally acclaimed dancers such as Ni Wayan Sekariani and I Dewa Nyoman Irawan who provide an educational cultural experience that is entertaining for any occasion looking to impress guests while providing insight into Japanese culture. Whether you are looking for a fun activity or an unforgettable experience, our Asian Dance Theatre Show will not disappoint. Contact one of our entertainment specialists today.

"The San Miguel audience thoroughly enjoyed Surapsari's presentation that filled the space with the vibrancy that only performance of this quality could, leaving the audience with a fulfilling experience. We received nothing but wonderful comments from the audience. We highly recommend her work as an artist."
