Yokohama is proud of its triennial of art festivals, and the year 2012 puts the focus on dance. (Link). เดือนกรกฎาคม 20 marked the official start of Dance Dance Dance @ YOKOHAMA 2012 But even if you missed the open stage opening การแสดง of the Yokohama Bayside Ballet, there is still plenty to see and ประสบการณ์ that promise to transcend the language barriers.

There is so much happening in the 4 months that lasts the festival that I can ' t possibly write everything down here, but I ' ll try to introduce the activities you should definitely not miss.

I guess the best way to go about this is by date. I feel like I cannot stress it enough, but keep in mind that a lot more is taking place everywhere in Yokohama until the end of October. I will merely be pointing ข้างนอก the tip of the iceberg. Also, for those on a budget, there are a lot of free or very inexpensive performances, so don ' t let money get in the way of culture and arts.
