Hanayagi Dancing Academy Hawaiʻi Foundation will hold its 25th Classical Japanese Dance Grand Recital on June 28, 2025 at the historic Hawaiʻi Theatre in Downtown Honolulu. The production will commemorate 78 years since the founding of our Academy in 1947 and feature an array of traditional nihon buyō dance performances in full traditional costume.

We are excited that several guest artists will join us on this special day. Notably, the Hanayagi School of Classical Japanese Dance 5th Generation Headmaster, Sōke Iemoto Hanayagi Jusuke V, will grace our stage with two dances. We are also incredibly fortunate to have Hanayagi Kusumitsu, senior instructor at the Hanayagi School of Classical Dance join us for his second Grand Recital in Hawaiʻi.

Mark your calendars – we hope to see you there!
