Worldwide, dance has never been more popular, and Japan is no exception. Offering the advantages of both a sport and a means of self-expression, dance has been a required subject in junior high schools here since 2012. The athletic dance form known as Breaking will debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and Japan is a serious contender for the Gold. So it's not surprising that the world's first professional dance league was created in Japan, a competition that has been honing the skills of local dancers since 2021.
