About this Event

Join us in partnership with JCI Honolulu for a free, hands on cultural workshop that introduces participants to the history and traditions of Bon Dance in Hawai'i and Japan. Through stories, demonstrations, and easy guided dances, participants may learn what the movements mean and gain confidence to join bon dances at local festivals.

The program is open to all ages and no dance experience is needed, making it a a fun and welcoming way to connect with Japanese traditions and our Hawai'i community.
