The anime "The World Is Dancing" is based on the manga series (6 volumes total) by Kazuto Mihara, which was serialized in "Morning" (Kodansha). It is a story depicting the youth of Zeami, the creator of Noh, during the Muromachi period.
Episode 3: "You Have Your Own Strengths"
[Synopsis]
The Kanzeza troupe is scheduled to perform a dance at the Imakumano Minazukie festival. It is a once-in-a-lifetime stage that even the Shogun will attend. While it is decided that Oniyasha will also stand on that stage, the unprecedented immense pressure prevents his body from moving as he wishes. Jūnigorō, an apprentice kotsuzumi (small hand-drum) player, does not take kindly to this.
