About the Satsuki-kai
彩月会は西川流師範 西川佳洋(かよう）先生のご指導の下、
日本の踊りを楽しく習う集いとして２０１１年５月に発足し、
「五月（さつき）」にちなんで踊りを通じて彩りある生活になるようにと
思いを込め名づけました。
現在日系センターでのイベントを中心に様々な文化交流イベントへの参加
着物ファッションショー、パウエル祭、仏教会盆踊り、シニアホーム訪問と
多様な活動の中で踊りを通して日本文化紹介に努めております。
The Satsuki kai was formed in May 2011 by Nishikawa Kayo of the Nishikawa School of Japanese classical dance to give people an opportunity to enjoy learning Japanese dance. The name comes from the pronunciation of the old name for May, “satsuki”, although it is written with a different Chinese character meaning “colour”. The hope is for people to have a more colourful, happier life through dance.
The group participates in many events, especially at Nikkei Place, and works hard to showcase Japanese culture through dance. Past events include the annual Powell Street Festival, kimono fashion shows, performances at seniors’ residences and other multicultural events.
