Welcome to Nihon Buyo Kai’s Virtual Autumn Classical Dance program! Nihon Buyo Kai wishes to acknowledge and thank the dance instructors, Azuma Kikusue, Bando Hidesomi, Bando Hiromiya, Majikina Aiko, and Wakayagi Hisame, who contributed their performances and background information on the dances. Without their generosity and dedication to Japanese classical dance, this virtual dance presentation could not have been made possible.
Please explore our website to keep engaged with us, as well as our Facebook page. Thank you for your continued support!
