The Bangladesh Institute of Performing Arts will perform traditional dance and music July 22, including rabindra sangeet, nazrul sangeet, folk songs and patriotic songs with classical and contemporary music.

  • The music, dance and song ensemble Barynya, of New York City, is a world-renowned group that is regarded by some as the premier Russian folk ensemble outside of Russia. Barynya presents Russian, Cossack, Ukrainian, Jewish and Russian Gypsy traditional dancing, music, songs and virtuoso performances. They will perform Aug. 5.
  • The Jade River Dance Company is comprised of preteen girls of Asian heritage in southern New Jersey. The group will perform an entertaining array of folk dances Aug. 12 while wearing traditional Chinese costumes.
  • Island Jam presents hula girls gracefully dancing to slow and relaxing Polynesian music, and then turns up the heat and energy, pounding away on the drums as the male members perform a warrior dance or sensational fire dancing exhibition. Look for them Aug. 19.
  • Vongku Pak Korean Drum and Dance Troupe will wrap up the series Aug. 26 with the playing of the suljanggu, the distinctive Korean drum that has become a signature instrument in traditional music. The drum’s distinctive hourglass shape gives it two tones, bass and treble. The troupe will be joined by NARU Korean Performing Arts of New York.
