In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19,
We support seniors who have fewer opportunities to go out in preventing illness.
Kanagawa Prefecture is promoting the realization of a symbiotic society through the Magnet Culture (Magcul) initiative, which attracts people with the charm of culture and the arts and creates a lively community. As part of the "Symbiotic Co-creation Project," which allows everyone, from children to adults, to participate in and enjoy performing arts, regardless of disability or age, we are releasing free dance lesson videos that can be done at home, incorporating movements that are easy for seniors to perform. Eliminate lack of exercise with daily lessons and work on preventing illness.
《Background to the video creation》
Currently, the senior dance project "Challenge of the Silver," which is being implemented as part of the "Coexistence and Co-Creation Project," is refraining from workshops and other activities to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As seniors have fewer opportunities to go out and are more likely to become physically inactive, we have decided to create and release a dance video that can be easily done at home, planned and performed by Yoko Ando, a world-renowned dancer who serves as an instructor at the "Challenge of the Silver" workshop, so that even those who have never participated in a workshop before can experience the charm of dance and have fun working on improving their health.
