Shun Watanabe — Our Own Dance Collective

About Shun Watanabe

Hi, I'm Shun from Japan. I'm a hip-hop dance instructor with over 15 years of experience. My goal is to help each student develop their own style and expression through dance. I speak Japanese and English. My English is not perfect, but I always do my best to communicate clearly.

Built around the motto "Find Your Style, Express Yourself," it offers kids and adult hip-hop classes across Oʻahu, helping each dancer develop their own style and voice through movement.
