CMC Center Stage : ShoJoJi Japanese Dance

The magic of the stage is for all ages! The Children’s Museum of Cleveland is bringing world-class performances to our small stage with our CMC Center Stage performance series.

Live performances stimulate imagination, promote emotional development, and teach children about different cultures. Join us for a series of free interactive and age-appropriate performances of music, theater, and dance, presented without the barriers that traditional performance venues can have for families with young children. Floor seating, free admission, and an entirely early-childhood audience give our youngest learners an approachable space to wiggle, giggle, and enjoy the arts.

On Sunday, September 20th, we will present a live performance from the local group Shojoji Japanese Dance. This group has been performing in the Cleveland area since 1956, sharing Japanese culture and artistic traditions through their performances. The dancers wear colorful kimonos wrapped with a brocaded obi. Fans and parasols are used to help to depict the moods and stories of the dances.

All events are held in the Museum’s Theater exhibit and are FREE with CMC Membership and General Admission. No reservations or additional tickets are required to attend the performances.
