芸術、文化を通して世界の人々が交流をはかれることの素晴らしさをこれだけ分かった人はいないでしょう。
頭だけで分かっているのではなく彼女の経験を通し心からそれを理解しているのです。
彼女は素晴らしいダンサーであると共に沢山の人を魅了する優しさそして人種を問わずどんな人をも受け入れる器の大きさを持っています。
彼女の交流関係を見ると分かるように多くの著名人達が彼女の回りにやって来ます、そしてその輪は益々大きくなっています。
井本美穂さんの日本と世界を繋ぐプロジェクトに心から期待します。

What's this item about? W美穂さんとの出会いは、2012年、民舞座の20周年公演の折でした。一目で彼女が大好きになりました。NY生活で培った卓越したダンサーとしてのスキルは然ることながら、下町っ娘を彷彿とさせる大味で、それでいて人情味あふれる人間性が会う人会う人を惹きつけて止みません。気がつくと彼女の周りはいつも大勢の人で賑わい、その小さな体は簡単に見えなくなってしまうほどです。彼女の一番の強みは、どんな暗がりに隠れる才能でも感じ取り、掘り起し、自身の持つポジティブな光で照らしてあげられることではないでしょうか。かくいう私も、大事な司法試験の前日に美穂さんの教えるズンバクラスで汗を流し、見事合格を勝ち取った過去があります。情報過多で難解な、夢を愚直に追うのがだんだんと難しくなっている昨今の日本。美穂さんのカリスマと求心力が、この国のアート・ダンスシーンにおける新たな光となることを大いに期待しています。i
