The Minyo Dancers

World War II brought a special group of Japanese to Indiana – women who married soldiers and other Americans stationed in Japan, and then moved to Indiana in the 1950s, often to Fort Benjamin Harrison and Camp Atterbury and then throughout the state. Missing their culture and the company of other Japanese, some of these women later joined together and took up the hobby of Japanese folk or “Minyo” dancing.

When the International Festival of Indianapolis was formed as part of the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976, one of the ethnic groups formed was the Minyo dancers group, which later developed into the Minyo Club of Indianapolis and the Indianapolis Minyo Dancers.
