Ballet Dancers Struggling with Thinning Hair & Hair Growth

Can you tell us about the origins of Aurora shampoo?

Originally, "Ballet Japon" was established in 2012 to support the conditioning of ballet dancers.

In countries like France and Russia, where ballet originated, professional instructors with national qualifications conduct lessons. In contrast, Japan lacks any licensing system for ballet instruction.

Since the golden age for ballet is considered to be from ages 3 to 8, many children often engage in improper body usage and unhealthy dieting from a young age. To address this, we established the "Safe Dance Association" to provide conditioning and guidance from experts in body and mind for ballet instructors.
