Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, GenRyu Arts will offer free music and dance classes to senior citizens and preschool children within San Francisco who are constituents of the Mission YMCA and Chinatown YMCA. We will partner with Dholrhythms Dance Company to offer traditional music and dance classes and share our respective traditional Indian and Japanese culture with constituents who have little or no exposure to our cultures. Through the Let’s Dance project, we hope to create unifying moments for residents of different communities and ethnicities, embracing our diversity.
