TOKYO MUSIC & DANCE is a curated online guide for people who want to learn, practice, and experience dance and music in Tokyo.
We provide reliable, practical information for international travelers, expats living in Japan, and anyone looking for quality dance schools or music studios across the city.
Why We Created This Site
We are industry professionals with over 20 years of hands-on experience in operating, launching, and managing dance schools and music studios in Tokyo.
Through that experience, we repeatedly encountered the same problems:
- Many articles are written by people who have never worked in actual studios or schools
- Rankings and recommendations are often driven purely by advertising
- Truly useful information for international users is surprisingly hard to find
TOKYO MUSIC & DANCE was created to address these issues.
Because we understand the realities of studio operations and lessons on the ground, we focus on providing information that helps people make real decisions, not just lists of venues.
Our goal is to offer guidance based on practical knowledge, not promotion.
Our Editorial Policy & Selection Criteria
All information on this site is published based on the following principles:
- The studio or school must be a real, actively operating business
- Location, facilities, pricing, and usage conditions must be clearly stated
- The space must be realistically accessible for beginners and international users
We reference official websites and publicly available information, while adding an editorial perspective grounded in real operational experience.
Our content is organized to be genuinely helpful, not promotional.
Articles on this site are edited with one priority:
to give users the information they need to choose with confidence.
