My son is trying out several different activities. There are lots of classes around for him to test out to see what he is interested in pursuing. He tried a classic ballet class this week.
According to this "investigative reporter," ballet classes in Japan for children are exactly the same as ballet classes in other places around the world. Cute kids in tutus and black leggings lined up at the bar doing plies and learning foot positions.
The school was overjoyed to have the interest of a little boy, as they are always hopeful to have them join the classes and performances. I would expect to have the same reaction regardless of the location (with the exception of Russia, where I'd think it was pretty popular, but that is just an assumption).
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
