About Young Audiences:
Founded in 1958:
Young Audiences of Oregon & SW Washington has steadily grown in scope and programming since we were founded in 1958. We’ve evolved from presenting only a few classical music performances to currently providing a roster of over 200 skilled residency and performing artists with programs in multiple artistic disciplines and cultures. We connect these artists and classroom teachers and together they use the arts to make learning come alive for their students.

It Takes a Village to Dance: Introduction to Japanese Folk Dance
Students will experience Japanese folk dance through Soran Bushi, a lively and energetic fisherman’s dance from Hokkaido. Creating ensemble or community will flow throughout the program, emphasizing the joy and satisfaction of working together. Connections of the dance to Japanese culture will also be explored through language, customs, geography, and history. Since 2000, Toru Watanabe and Michelle Fujii of Shinmai Dance Ensemble have studied with Warabi-za, one of Japan’s foremost traditional folk dance companies.
