The Lunar New Year or Spring Festival is commonly referred to as Chinese New Year. There was a two-day celebration of Lunar New Year at Asia Plaza as we entered the Year of the Fire Horse. Ladies from the Sho-Jo-Ji Japanese Dancers performed traditional Japanese dances and even taught the audience some steps. Here are a few photos from the Sho-Jo-Ji performance.
