We welcome you to the Japan International Ballet Festival!
Our festival features workshops and competitions in English, led by renowned international teachers. English-speaking staff are available to assist you.
A few key points for our overseas participants:
- Please use your browser's translation feature when registering. Contact us if you have any questions.
- Reach out to us via contact form. We are happy to help you.
- Some registration fields require entering Japanese characters called "Kana". If needed, copy and paste カイガイ instead (use only 4 Japanese letters without any space). We will follow up with you later.
We look forward to seeing you this summer!
