Dance Performance: The Sho-Jo-Ji Dancers

Directed by Beverly Kerecman and Nanci Taketa   

Traditional Japanese dance, which has evolved over the centuries, embodies a rich heritage reflecting Japanese aesthetics, storytelling and social customs, and it is valued for its artistic, cultural and historic significance.    

The Sho-Jo-Ji Dancers, organized in 1955 under the sponsorship of the Japanese American Citizens League – Cleveland, has served as cultural and goodwill ambassadors of the Cleveland-area Japanese American community for years.    

Enjoy a performance of delicate, graceful Japanese dance accompanied by traditional Japanese music.  This concert is intended for patrons and guests of all ages.
