'AGT' Season 19 dance crew AIRFOOTWORKS has made several TV appearances
AIRFOOTWORKS made appearances on prominent television programs in 2020, including 'Legal Consultation Office' and 'Arashi ni Shiyagare', and just when it looked like things would keep getting better, a significant global shift took place.
They suddenly found themselves in a challenging situation since they were not associated with a large management firm, and they had been attempting to determine what they could do for the previous year.
Who founded 'AGT' Season 19 dance crew AIRFOOTWORKS?
AIRFOOTWORKS is the world's first AIRDANCE (horizontal bar dance) unit, pursuing the vision of "dance x zero gravity x art". The dancers appear to be walking on air throughout their gravity-free performance.
It is a singular work that captivates the audience with its world. The world's first air dance group, AIRFOOTWORKS, was created by Takashi, a former dance member and choreographer of WORLD ORDER, a dance company that has received widespread praise in Asia and across the world.
This unique dance gives onlookers the appearance that the performer is strolling in midair while maintaining a weightless posture.
After graduating from the University of Tokyo, he joined the WORLD ORDER commanded by Genki Sudo. They go across the world performing and filming music videos.
After breaking away from WORLD ORDER in 2018, they founded AIRFOOTWORKS, the world's first air dance unit.
