Public ondo practices are being held every Tuesday and Thursday beginning this week and lasting until August 1st. They will be held at the Japanese Community and Cultural center from 7-8:30 p.m. and will be led by Madame Fujima Kansuma, this year's Nisei Week choreographer. These practices are held to encourage and prepare the public to participate in the ondo street dancing at the Nisei Week festival and closing ceremonies on August 20th. Sensu (folding fan) and uchiwa (round fan) are needed.
