Mayu was the Queen, Ai was the bird of prey, and everyone was smiling from start to finish as I watched them all make such graceful leaps.
As an Egyptian dancer, the one that really struck me was Alibaba (I've been saying this for a long time) and Jill Class, so I chose that, but all the classes were wonderful!
I am always excited by the different themes from oriental and the expansion of the imagination that comes from them.
Personally, I was a little concerned about the distance between the stage and the audience. Everyone was dancing with such intensity, but the distance was a little too far and it felt less immersive than before. I just love live performances so it may just be a personal preference...

"The Witch" seen from the back row was spectacular!

TRIBAL.KB: There was such a wide variety of dance performances that I wanted to see more!
The tambourine ATS was also great!
I'm rooting for you!

I enjoyed many performances. Thank you very much. Every performance was wonderful.

This was my first time going to a belly dance show. There were a lot more dark songs than I expected, so I got a little tired halfway through, but overall it was fun! Thank you very much.

I look forward to it every year. From the second place onwards, it was hard to choose a favourite, but I also liked the performances of Junjun (first) and Ai (fourth). Thursday Class (twelfth) had a choreography and composition that was fun to watch. They are my favourite team. Dokin (twenty-fourth) was also good. The works of the people I chose were impressive and left an impression on me even after a while.
Every time I perform, I feel that the students' seriousness, enthusiasm, and the amount of practice they have put in are on display. Even if there are differences in their skills, it is clear how much they have practiced.
Now, I'm going to be critical, but every year, there are teams that produce good pieces but don't seem to have practiced enough. I can't help but compare them, perhaps because of the students' seriousness and enthusiasm, or the teachers' guidance.

That's a long post, I'm looking forward to next year.

What is fusion?

Bravo

Thank you to all the classes and performances.
Although there were differences in the level of completion between schools, the students all shone brightly thanks to their hard work.
◎The finale with everyone performing ATS was worth watching.
◎Perhaps because it was fusion, the costumes, songs and performances were mostly dark, but the two ATS performances, Jill and Alibaba, were enjoyable and served as a sort of palate cleanser.
◎This may be the instructor's preference or selling point, but since it is a long event, I would have liked to see a variety of presentations other than just dark ones.
◎There seems to be no restriction on the length of the performances, and there was one very long performance that was not even performed by the instructor, and it was so long that it was tiring to watch.
◎What kind of people are the soloists? Semi-professionals? Good students? Show of hands? What do the soloists want to convey? What is their concept? I didn't really understand it. But that doesn't mean they're particularly skilled...
I'm looking forward to next year. Thank you to the organizers for your hard work.

TRIBAL.KB I'm looking forward to the next one.

All the dancers and the performances were truly wonderful. I liked both the solo and group dances, but I was moved by the high quality of the group dances. All the group dances, filled with the passion of the instructors, touched my heart. I felt that it was easier to see in the KAVC hall this time than in the previous hall. The lighting also conveyed the worldview expressed by the dancers. I look forward to next year's event and will spend the year looking forward to it. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for all the wonderful performances.

I was amazed at the precision of Junjun's dancing. It was a lot of fun (^^)

Shakechan, you were so cool, I was really moved. I'll come and support you again.

I was moved by Aika's work. I think I was moved. The music, the technique, and the atmosphere she exudes are all intertwined, and I felt like I wanted to see more and be more immersed in her. I didn't think I'd be able to see Aika in Kansai, so I'm grateful for this opportunity. As a fan of yu-mi tribe, the music and the dancers in all the works were cool and I got excited. Mayu-sensei's personality and passion for dance were overflowing from the students' works, and that was conveyed to the audience. I felt the charm of Mayu-sensei again, including the fact that she organized this event. She is frank, honest, strong-willed, and brightens up the surroundings. The fusion-only event was full of good things, with a diverse worldview, but also something consistent, so it wasn't boring and easy to watch. The admission fee was also reasonable. The final ATS with everyone was also moving, and I felt it was a fitting conclusion to one story.

It was a wonderful stage!
The performance was also very beautiful.

Junjun's performance using Bambi was innovative and memorable from the opening. Yu-mi's witch-like Wednesday performance was very impressive and the worldview was amazing! Kyoko was cool as a warrior! The numbers with the worldview of the samurai and Aladdin were also wonderful. It was a lot of fun to see the various worldviews of each of them.

It was my first time seeing Mayu, Miho, and Ai on stage. It was a wonderful performance that kept me glued to every performance ^ ^ Thank you very much!

There were many dark songs from beginning to end, and the costumes were similar. Many of the songs were too long, making it hard to watch. There was a huge difference between showing what they were good at and trying to show it to the audience as a show. For a belly dance show, the lighting and other factors probably helped a lot.
The only one who did well this time was Ai Fujiwara. Yu-mi, AXE, and Mayu should think about their future.
It was good for a belly dancing show.
