Japanese Folk Dance
Over sixty+ years ago, the Sakura Minyo Doo Koo Kai was formed by a group of first-generation Japanese immigrants who loved Japanese folk music. They learned how to play the shamisen, sing and dance. Today, the Sakura Minyo Doo Koo Kai’s focus is to learn and perform Japanese folk dances from all parts of Japan. Some contemporary Japanese American folk dances have also been added to the
repertoire. The group is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization funded by performances and personal donations.
