GREETINGS
LETTER OF ENCOURAGEMENT BY INTERNATIONAL CID-UNESCO PRESIDENT
I would like to congratulate the development and establishment of the foundation for the "Tokyo UNESCO International Dance Council CID-UNESCO". It has been our longtime goal to establish a CID section in Japan which boasts the quality of dancers and highlights active dance scenes. The idea of a new branch in Japan materialized after my encounter with Erika Akoh, a choreographer, educator, dancer, and Director of Erika Akoh Global Dance Theatre.
It was about 20 years ago that I saw the dance and choreography work of Erika. She was among the few dancers who could combine both tragic and theatrical elements of a dance story to personify her dance role. Since then, it has been my desire that she would represent Japanese dancers and build a strong bridge of peace between the world and Japan through dance. I'm sure that Erika would play an important role in assisting Japanese dancers to expand their horizons at global levels. I am happy that the Tokyo section was launched with the help of Erika and would like all of the dancers, choreographers, teachers, and researchers in Japan to support her and the CID-UNESCO section in Tokyo, Japan.
Devastated by the earthquake in March 2011, Japan has been under reconstruction and recovering from the loss that many people suffered. It would be a great encouragement for people to see the growth of a new organization. CID Tokyo will surely create and add value to the society.
The new Tokyo CID section is preparing for the "CID-UNESCO World Dance Congress 2014" which will be held in Urayasu, Chiba Prefecture from October 23rd-27th, 2014. This will be a milestone event as the World Congress comes together for the first time in Asia. I believe Erika's power and "Ki" will achieve great success during Tokyo's 2014 CID Congress.

GREETINGS BY MS. AKOH,PRESIDENT CID-UNESCO- TOKYO
I was appointed as the president during the commencement of CID UNESCO-International Dance Council of Tokyo, Japan. I was also granted the highest humanitarian award by the Japanese National Tourism Organization- JNTO on November 12th ,2012.
I am very pleased to announce that with everyone's cooperation, the commencement of this branch has become a reality.
CID-UNESCO was established in 1973 under the UNESCO Headquarters as a non-profit organization and non-governmental group.
As of now, there are almost 600 groups and organizations from over 155 countries with 4000 members composed of dance researchers, educators, choreographers, and registered dancers. I personally got involved in the organization as a representative member of Japan in 1996 to broaden international relationships through art culture with my original theatrical choreographed dance style.
My distinguished work was recognized and I was able to establish a branch in Tokyo with the acknowledgment of CID-UNESCO Headquarters. UNESCO International Dance Council Tokyo goes far beyond any genre of dance and enhances artistic viewpoints to influence "Hope, Love, and Peace" to the world.
I met the CID-Council president, Mr. Alkis Raftis, seventeen years ago. And from that time he told me to be the bridge between Japan and foreign countries, promoting opportunities for the Japanese people to be further acquainted to dance.
With the establishment of the Tokyo branch, I am in high spirits and ready to support the fascination of dance and to broaden the knowledge of what dance actually does to you socially and mentally.
I have set up and organized committee members with the intention of having the largest World Dance Congress ever. This event will be held for the first time in Japan from October 23rd through 27th, 2014 with the support of Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), Japan Tourism Agency (JTA), Chiba Convention Center, and Urayasu-City, Chiba Prefecture.
I hope all of the participants attending this event are able to experience and feel the rewarding and healing benefits of dance as well as have a rewarding, memorable and life changing experience.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you along with other participants and guest from all over the world in Japan from October 23rd -27th, 2014.
Sincerely,
CID-UNESCO-TOKYO
President Erika Akoh
