KOTOWARIby Jenes Get Season 1

Popping & boogaloo lessons from Tokyo · English subtitles

The reason
behind every move.

KOTOWARI (理) means the logic of how things work. These are my full classes from Tokyo. I explain movement through bones, weight and connection — in Japanese, with English subtitles on every line. Season 1 also has English dubbed audio. Seasons 2 and 3 are being added.

I've learned from dancers in many countries, and I'm still learning. These classes are my interpretation — not the tradition itself. When I talk about history, it's what I was taught, and there are many accounts.

Questions

Is the teaching in English?

I teach in Japanese. Every spoken line has an English subtitle on top of the video. You can turn them off or make them bigger. Season 1 also has English dubbed audio. Seasons 2 and 3 are being added. You can switch between it and the original Japanese under the video.

How good are the subtitles?

They are machine-assisted translations of what I say in class, checked in places. Some phrases may be rough. If something is unclear, tell me and I'll fix it.

What level is this for?

Season 1 starts from the basics — stop, hit, pop, isolation, weight shift — and goes deep. Beginners can follow it, and experienced dancers usually find things they never heard explained this way.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once and keep access. Bookmark your class page after purchase — it's your way back in.

Refunds

If a video doesn't play or something is wrong, message me within 14 days of purchase and I'll refund you.

How do I contact you?

Send a DM to @jenes.dancer on Instagram. My English isn't great, so replies may take a few days.

About

Jenes

Popper from Japan. I've been invited to dance and teach at events abroad, and reached world finals three times. In Tokyo and Chiba I teach a course called boogaloo fundamentals 12. I love explaining movement through the body's mechanics — I even bring a skeleton model to class.

Season 4 and more

Season 4 is already recorded. Leave your email and I'll tell you when its subtitles are ready.
