Hip-hop-influenced hoofer Kentaro!! presents his latest mashup of street and contemporary dance. Since debuting his Electrock Stairs company in 2008, Kentaro has become the toast of Tokyo’s contemporary dance community. This probably has to do with the informal flair and joie de vivre of his choreography, which contrasts starkly with much of the weighty, obsessive work being produced by many Tokyo choreographers. Todokete Kaibutsukun translates loosely as “bring it on, monster.”
