Since the first competiton in the last autumn was very good reputation,we decided to have the second competion this year, too. Karuizawa International Ballet Competition was established for adult amateur ballet dancers, not only in Japan, from around the world.
Our mission is to create an opportunity for adult dancers to dance on stage and to encourage their passion for Ballet. We offer a positive competitive atmosphere with Juries and share their knowledge. Participants will develop their ballet technique, and also friendships and connections with people who share the same “Love of Ballet” as you.
Its venue is located in Karuizawa (International goodwill cultural tourism town) Nagano, where’s a popular destination to enjoy the colorful autumn foliage in Japan. Join us and make it one of the annual events in 2024!
