Classical Japanese dance

I got to know a master of Classical Japanese dance these days. Honestly I am not interested in Classical Japanese dance. I'm rather interested in ballet or modern dance than that. I want to wear kimono by myself, that means I want to learn dressing kimono, kitsuke in Japanese for wearing kimono by oneself. She is not a teacher of dressing but a master of Classical Japanese dance. Besides she was inviting her new student. She told that she didn't mind if I was interested in just kitsuke, she would like to talk turkey. She come from a very traditional school of Classical Japanese dance. Both her mother and her grand-mother were masters of it. So she also have to looking for more students for herself. I met her with my friends who were interested in kitsuke this afternoon. After all, we started learning Classical Japanese dance from May. The key point was that I want to wear kimono or to make wear kimono. That is, dressing school teaches the way of putting on a kimono to look gloumorous. Meanwhile, in Classical Japanese dance, you wear kimono to dance and do ordinary thing, not to show someone the kimono. No women now wear kimono as a daily clothing since European clothing is easier to move than Japanese kimono. You can take a small bottle of soysauce without paying any attention when you are at the table, however you have to pick your sleeve up because you keep your sleeve from touching dishes on the table. This is a kind of manner. You can't do it if you get used to it. She told that you had better see Classical Japanese dance as a learning of such a graceful carriage suited for kimono. Anyway I will try it.
