🌏Founding Philosophy and Purpose Dance is a universal language. It transcends differences of race, gender, age, religion, and background—connecting people to one another, and communities across boundaries. Traditional Japanese dance holds this social power, and within Japan’s rich diversity of dance cultures, certain forms stand out for their originality and resilience.Founded in 2004, our organization aims to expand the human circle of Wa—harmony, ring, and cycle—through ethnic dance that celebrates difference and mutual respect. By doing so, we contribute to the creation of peace through cultural resonance.
