• At around the period when Japanese women began to seek theliberation from sexual segregation， the sex diffreence in themovements of the Awa Dance gradually widened, due to obtainingmore attractive performance as tourism resources. Women danceda female dance and men danced a male dance. Despite cleardifferences in movements，some women came to challenge the maledance.This article attempts to make clear，through interviews，who began to dance the male dance and when and tries to describethe present state of women peforming the male dance.The women's male dance was first performed by Takeichi in1960's. Others soon followed her. Some assumed the position ofgroup leader. Although the solo male dance usually indicatesleadership in the group，women's positions as leaders are not simplydue to their abilities to dance the male dance but to their passionsand personalities which enable them to create something new bydancing the male dance.
