Ken is a dancer traveling around the world in search of the ultimate form of dance. His journeys lead him to Okinawa where he becomes a pupil of an old man named Iwao Shinjyo, a Ryukyu dance master.

“A good dancer is also a good karate fighter,” Iwao explains. At the core of his dance teaching is the art of Ryukyu karate. The more Ken dances under Iwao‘s guidance, the more his movements take on the form of Ryukyu karate.

Unknown to Ken, Iwao’s dojo is in jeopardy of being taken over by a rival clan and his daughter has hatched a harebrained plan to hold a tournament with the champion winning her hand in marriage.

An exciting fusion between modern dance and the mysterious Ryukyu karate, “The Karate Dancer” will entertain audiences worldwide!
