Japan's professional dance league strikes ambitious pose, targeting Gen Z and women fans and street dance in Japan

"Japan's D.League claims it operates the world's first professional dance league, where 14 teams face off in a series of round-robin fixtures in a packed concert hall with a large audience also watching on streaming platforms.
