Uzumaru

Uzumaru, a Yosakoi dance team based in San Jose's Japantown, was established in December 2017 by Ikumi Sekiguchi. The name "Uzumaru" is derived from "uzu" meaning whirlpool and "maru" signifying circle, symbolizing the team's aim to captivate audiences with the joy and energy of Yosakoi.

No prior dance experience is required to join Uzumaru, making it accessible to all who wish to participate in this traditional Japanese art form. The team aspires to showcase each member's passion and spirit through their performances while fostering a strong sense of community.

Vortex Co, the umbrella organization behind Uzumaru, is a nonprofit association dedicated to promoting Japanese rhythmic dance to individuals of all ages and abilities. By offering the opportunity to join the performance team, Vortex Co aims to enrich lives and transcend cultural barriers through the art of Yosakoi.
