In her role as leader of her college’s ballroom dancing club, Ivi often interacts and performs with other campus dance groups, like the salsa club, and spends as much time as she can dancing at local Portland venues. Now we learn that she has joined with the campus Japanese dance group — in her happi coat — for a forthcoming International Students’ Day performance of the traditional Japanese fisherman’s dance/song.
