Isamu Noguchi: Metal the Mirror is organized by Art Bridges Foundation.
Japanese Folk Dance Institute of New York
Founded in 1992, our goal is the research and promotion of Japan’s rich history of traditional folk dances. By performing and teaching these authentic dances (customarily performed by the ordinary working people of Japan), we help ensure the preservation of an invaluable cultural legacy—to us, these dances embody the sweat and sweetness of life itself!
Presently, JFDINY consists of two performing groups: Minbuza, a group of practiced professionals, whose purpose is to perform folk dances originating from all over Japan; and Hanagasa-Kai, a group open to all ages, nationalities, and skill levels, which performs and parades the Bon-Odori at festivals and other events.
