The Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association hosted its final “Surrey Voices” events Wednesday (Aug. 11), highlighting the different communities in the city.
Wednesday’s event featured performances by the classical Japanese dance group, Satsuki-kai, who hosted a workshop.
According to the BIA, the group formed in May of 2011 Nishikawa Kayo of the Nishikawa School of Japanese classical dance to give people an opportunity to enjoy learning Japanese dance.
