How Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty! Performed
Ha-Chan, Shake Your Booty!'s Blurbs
About me:
Haru and her husband Luis loved dancing together in Tokyo's ballroom and Latin dance scene. After he dies, she shuts herself away, until her sister and a friend drag her back to the dance studio. Josef Kubota Wladyka directs, and he won the directing award at Sundance for it. Rinko Kikuchi leads, and critics singled her out. Grief, a dance floor and a lot of nerve.
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who has ever been dragged to a dance class and ended up loving it.
