M☆rettes JADE (abbreviation), a cheer dance team based in Chofu City to which Takagi-san (Inagi Daiyon Junior High School 1st year) and Takamatsu-san (Nagamine Elementary School 6th grade) belong, was held in the United States (Florida). Participated in the cheer dance world competition “2019 The Dance Summit Championship” (May 4th and 5th, 2019) and won the Small Youth Pon category under the age of 14.
Excellent teams nominated from all over the world participated in this competition. M☆rettes JADE achieved excellent results at the tournament "JAMfest Vol 13" held in Japan, and was recommended by the tournament to participate in the world tournament.

In the competition, the team was united and we were able to finish the performance in a very good atmosphere. Before the performance, everyone decided to shout out and take a deep breath as a team. “I was nervous when I stood on the stage, but I calmed down after shouting and taking a deep breath (Mr. Takagi),” he said cheerfully, “I was able to have fun by being relaxed, and I was able to finish my moves (Mr. Takamatsu).” Also, both of them have very flexible bodies and are good at jumping.

I usually have cheer dance lessons twice a week, ballet dance lessons once a month, and other individual practice. We asked these two people who are immersed in dance about their future goals. “Currently, I graduated from M☆rettes JADE and belong to a new team, but I want to aim for the US tournament with that team, and I want to further improve my skills (Mr. Takagi).” I want to be able to do acrobatics, and since the competition will continue from autumn, I want to win one by one (Mr. Takamatsu).
The two who are active in the world will continue to take on challenges in the future. Please support them.
