Meet Koyano Tetsuro; a Balinese Dancer


Wilaca - san of Maya Ubud & Koyano - san

Yes, he is a Japanese, but he is famous as a Balinese Dancer in Japan. Popular as Mask Dance (Tari Topeng) performer, Koyano spends 3 - 4 months of his time in Bali in a year, the rest will be arranging Balinese Dance & Music performances, not only in Japan but also to the US.
