ABOUT US

Hello everyone!
I am Satomi Okuhara.

Satomi Okuhara

Nice to meet you! My name is Satomi Okuhara.
I used to be an introvert with a hunchback and chronic headaches.
Thanks to dance, I am now very healthy and can perform confidently in front of people.
Dance is not only fun but also has the incredible power to nurture a strong body and mind.
My lessons offer a clear approach, focusing specifically on how to use joints and muscles.
I promise to help extend your healthy life expectancy and support you in staying bright, beautiful, and energetic.
Let's work hard together!

Q&A

I am a complete beginner, is that okay?
Absolutely! The lessons you take as a beginner will influence you for years to come. I will support you so you can improve directly without developing bad habits that hinder progress. This also helps prevent injuries. Let's build a solid foundation from the early stages.
Can I observe or take a trial lesson?
Observations are free of charge. You can observe group lessons without prior notice. Also, please feel free to try our casual free online trial lesson. Contact us via official LINE or the inquiry form.
I don't have dance shoes, what should I do?
The type of dance shoes and heel height are up to you. I recommend Latin sandals or teacher's shoes, but ballet shoes are also acceptable for warm-ups. You can also take lessons in comfortable sneakers (indoor use). However, since rubber soles make turning difficult, I recommend purchasing dance shoes eventually. For the Beautiful Posture Walking lesson, we accommodate everything from sneakers to high heels (indoor use).
What should I prepare for the lesson?
Clothes that are easy to move in and shoes (any type/heel height) are all you need. Please also bring a towel for sweat and a drink if necessary.
How do I pay for the lessons?
※We accept Cash, Credit Cards (Touch Payment), QR Code Payment, and Bank Transfer (SMBC, Rakuten, SBI Sumishin Net Bank).
cashless
Also, via this page, you can use Credit Card, Bank Transfer, Convenience Store Payment, PayPal, PayPay Balance, Paidy (Pay Later), Rakuten Pay, Carrier Billing, and Amazon Pay (Fees apply).
When should I pay the lesson fee?
You can pay either before or after the lesson. Please choose whichever is convenient for you.
※ For online lessons, we ask for advance payment.
Is it okay to record the lesson?
Recording the lesson for review purposes is very welcome, but please limit it to personal use. If you wish to upload it to SNS etc., please consult with me in advance. Also, in group lessons, please refrain from using fixed cameras as other students may be filmed.
What happens if I want to cancel a lesson?
Basically, cancellations from 7 days prior to 18:00 on the previous day will incur a 20% fee, cancellations after 18:00 on the previous day will incur a 50% fee, and same-day/no-show cancellations will incur a 100% cancellation fee. However, please consult with us in unavoidable cases such as natural disasters.
Are there opportunities to perform dance?
There are many opportunities to dance with the teacher, such as demonstrations at dance parties and Pro-Am competitions. We also support pair activities such as finding a dance partner for competitions.
I want to participate in competitions.
I will support you from a neutral perspective, including finding a partner for competitions and how to enter!
I aspire to be a professional.
There are various ways to be involved in dance, such as being a competition pro or a teaching pro. First, please consult with me about how you want to make dance your profession.
