About the Instructor – Naya Reitoku (Suiko Reitoku) has been dancing Nihon Buyo since 1988. In 1994 he was under the tutelage of Ms Hanayagi Momonosato (President of Reisen-Kai) and was awarded the title of Shihan (Master) by the Reisen-Kai school. This is a rare opportunity to be able to learn traditional Japanese dance under an instructor fluent in both Japanese and English language. Reitoku-Kai school is a member of International Organization of Folk Art (IOV), so there will be opportunities for international performances.
