[Toshiyuki Hattori]

Dancer living in Gifu city

Flamenco, which I met at the age of 26, started as a dancer.

The following year, I went to Spain alone. After that, he visited Spain several times and learned from famous dancers and singers.

After returning to Japan, he established a dance studio while working as a flamenco dancer. Performed with professionals of various genres such as Spanish artist, Argentine artist, Tsugaru shamisen player, and saxophone player. ​

​

​ In addition to regular performance activities, there are activities such as Lions clubs, Rotary clubs, and company founding commemorative shows at Gifu Miyako Hotel and Gran Hotel.

​

While working as a flamenco dancer, he mainly learns the basics of Latin dance and classical ballet in order to further expand the range of dance expressions and improve dance skills.

In this process, you will acquire Argentine tango, salsa, and bachata. Especially for Argentine tango, I learned the basics and basics from the Argentine tango dancer I was with during my musical activities in Tokyo.

​

Initially, I didn't plan to teach Argentine tango, but upon request, I am now actively engaged in lesson activities.

I usually spend time reading and cooking.

As a former Italian restaurant chef, I am good at Italian food, but at home I make pasta and spaghetti.

When I was addicted to Indian food and made authentic Indian curry, a complaint from a family member said, "Because the house smells like an Indian restaurant, moderately" (sweat)

Also, on holidays, I like to take a siesta (a nap in Spanish) and spend a relaxing time ♪

​

There is no particular genre for reading.

Recently, I have read essays by calligrapher Toko Shinoda and "Life in Mathematics" by mathematician Kiyoshi Oka.

I also read manga. I'm a fan of Daijiro Morohoshi. In recent manga, I'm curious about "Jujutsu Kaisen".

​

Recently, I am studying for the Japanese Language Teaching Competence Test.

The number of foreigners studying abroad in Japan or settling down has increased. It will continue to increase.

I would like to help such people blend in with Japan. In particular, Nikkei from Central and South America such as Brazil and Peru have come to Japan as permanent residents, and their communities have been formed. The top four children who actually need Japanese language education are Brazilian Portuguese (close to Spanish), Chinese, Filipino, and Spanish. I think there is something I can do as I have learned Spanish and Latin American dance culture.

The world is an era of multiculturalism. By respecting and acknowledging each other's cultures, I am happy to have a richer society.
