The Beautiful Folk Traditions Of Japan

Japanese Folk Dance Institute of N.Y.

The Japanese Folk Dance Institute of N.Y. Inc. was formed by Momo Suzuki in 1992. The purpose of our organization is to research, promote, and keep alive interest in the traditional folk dances of Japan. Our primary function is the performing, teaching, and preserving of those authentic dances, performed by the ordinary working people of Japan. To us, it is dance with the sweat and sweetness of life, itself!
