History & Business Background
​
Our activities began in April 2010 with the establishment of the ballet equipment business, “Tokyo Big Ballet Market.”
In addition to supplying ballet products, we have focused on creating safe and efficient training environments for dancers through the improvement of studio facilities and training environments.

In 2012, we introduced a ballet-specific flooring system aimed at injury prevention and studio environment improvement, contributing to the enhancement of training facilities for ballet studios in Japan.

In 2014, we developed the training device “Ko-Dashi Stick NEO,” designed to strengthen dancers’ footwork and improve technical skills.
The product has obtained both Utility Model registration and Trademark registration in Japan.

In 2015, we established “ASIA BALLET AGENCY” with the purpose of promoting international ballet education and cultural exchange projects. Since then, we have organized international workshops, educational exchange programs, stage production collaborations, and overseas ballet tours.

Based on these activities, we founded the international ballet competition “The World Ballet Trial (TWBT)” in Tokyo in 2016.
Today, TWBT has developed into an international ballet network based in Japan, collaborating with Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Italy across Asia and Europe.

In addition, through official participation in major international ballet competitions in countries including Korea and China, participation in international ballet competition conferences, and cooperation in international exchange performances and festivals, we continue to promote international ballet cultural exchange activities.
