Good morning! My name is Tomoyo Mizuno. I’m from Chiba. I live in Shonandai now. My hobby is Ballet. I started ballet when I was three years old. I like ballet very much.
This time, I would like to talk about Ballet.
First, I talk about Ballet history. Ballet’s beginning was Renaissance of Italy. The court entertainment as performed in those days. Ballet unused line and word. The famous ballet number is “Swan Lake”, “Nutcracker” and “Sleeping Beauty”.
Next, I talk about active internationally Japanese ballet dancer. Do you know Tetuya Kumakawa? I think Tetuya Kumakawa is one of the most famous Japanese ballet dancer. He’s nickname is Teddy. He study abraded the Royal Ballet School when he was a high school freshman. And, he received gold title by the Lausanne International Ballet Competition. In nature, the Lausanne International Ballet Competition prohibits clapping. But, not stop the audience clap when he was performed. After, he entered the Royal Ballet Company as Oriental for the first time. And, he advanced to soloist. He was the youngest soloist in this company. In 1999, he withdraws this company. After independence, he found “K Ballet Company”. He broadcast in Japanese drama “Good Luck”.
My favorite Japanese ballet dancer is Miyako Yoshida. She adjudicates in NHK sponsored year-end men versus women singing contest. She withdraws the Royal Ballet Company and entered K Ballet Company in 2006.
Finally, I talk about the Lausanne International Ballet Competition. This competition intended for aim for professional ballet dancer. Prize winner provided with opportunities of famous ballet school for study abroad. In late year, Oriental is active internationally for this competition.
