Avantgardey (アバンギャルディ) is a Japanese dance troupe that performs internationally and in Japan. It was founded by the dance choreographer Akane in 2022.

History

Akane is the founder and lead choreographer of Avantgardey in 2022 and the dance troupe was managed under choreographer’s independent production banner Akane Kikaku. Avantgardey is a troupe of 16 female dancers who wear jumper skirt uniforms and bob hairstyles. They perform highly synchronized routines. They reportedly have exaggerated expressions[1] and deadpan stares.[2] According to the Japanese government, the troupe has worldwide popularity.[3]

Some of the dancers were originally from the Tomioka High School dance club.[4] Akane is the founder and lead choreographer.

The group participated in the USA on television in 2023 on America's Got Talent.[5][4] Their choreography has been described as precise, humor laced, and quirky.[6]
