MIYUKI GETA DANCE ART 

GETA DANCE ART© is a new style of Japanese-inspired contemporary performance art created by MIYUKI MATSUNAGA which is performed worldwide.  It blends elements of traditional Japanese dance, modern dance, and vocals with live calligraphy painting and acting to produce an intense, expressive, show-stopping stage experience.  Miyuki wear Japanese GETA sandals with a Kimono and use various traditional Japanese items such as SENSU (fan), KASA (umbrella) and KATANA (sword), which visually enhance the performances.

Each GETA DANCE piece has its own unique story which is beautifully portrayed through MIYUKI's delicately choreographed dances and chakra vocals. Her calligraphy paintings during performances consist of Japanese Kanji based on the four elements: 地水風火Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire or 花鳥風月Flower, Bird, Wind and Moon.

GETA DANCE is performed to the sounds of Japanese TAIKO (drums), MINYO (Japanese folk music), SHAKUHACHI (bamboo flute), and SHAMISEN (Japanese banjo). The music is composed by Cirque Du Soleil artist Pierre Dubé, composer of Mystere.
