There was a lot of information, especially about the schedule, but everyone was so eager to learn and be ready for the weekend. We had a quick dinner and went into the theater to begin setting up.

After a few moments together the parents said goodbye and it was just the participants and buddies.

The girls went to a workshop with a Masaomi Sensei, a modeling coach, who taught them how to walk gracefully on the runway. With the great coaching, they learned walking and posing and began to feel confident with themselves preparing to take the stage. At the same time, the boys went to an art workshop with Seiji. They were able to make giant art with three themes; Hope, Happiness, and Beauty. They had a great time drawing pictures and writing words to express how they felt about the three themes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]３０分経ったら皆は交代しました。男の子はウォーキングのレッスンに行って、女の子はアートしに行きました。皆楽しそうでした。バディーとはすっかり仲良くなって、たくさんのハグやハイタッチに『上手に出来たよ！』『かっこいいね！』[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]After 30 minutes they boys and girls traded places.

Everyone has a special gift and talent.
