At Yujin Gakuen we dance a variety of dances, some are samurai dances, some are more graceful, and some are more fun. We start learning new dances in kindergarten, and we never stop learning new dances. We perform our dances at The Asian Celebration, the Hilton Hotel, The World Trade Center in Portland and various other places. We hope you enjoy these explanations as much as we enjoy learning the language, culture and dances of Japan.

Kimonos have sleeves that are long for unmarried girls and short for married women.
To tie a kimono, you need an obi which ties around your waist and usually has an attachable bow. Most formal kimonos are made of silk and are intricately embroidered.
