Family Workshop: Japanese Folk Dancing

Japanese Folk Dance institute of NY at Japan Day © Japanese Folk Dance Institute of NY

Immerse yourself in the many aspects of traditional and contemporary Japanese culture through uniquely themed visual art and performance workshops led by teaching artists. Each month will explore a different topic.


Traditional Japanese dance has a long history and many variations, often borrowing movement from nature, animals, and life. At this workshop, families will have the unique opportunity to embrace a joyful Japanese tradition! Learn, create, and dance with the Hanagasa Kai group from the Japanese Folk Dance Institute of New York. All abilities welcomed!


Programs recommended for kids ages 6-10 and accompanying adults.
