FILM RELEASE:
​Tanabata: The Story of Orihime & Hikoboshi


We are releasing the film of our performance just in time for Tanabata, the annual Japanese Star Festival on July 7th upon which this story is based!

This summer Sacramento dancer and choreographer Kaori Higashiyama created a brand new children's ballet based on the Japanese fairytale The Story of Orihime & Hikoboshi. This story tells the tale of two star-crossed lovers who must find their way back to each other across the Milky Way River on the seventh day of the seventh month of the year. Beautifully filmed by Sacramento film makers Natalie Manning and Ryan Wooten, enjoy this world premiere dance film in HD.
