Bon Odori is a traditional dance performed during Obon Festivals throughout Japan. Before JASM’s Obon Festival at Como Park, dancers will be teaching the Bon Odori. Please join us if you’d like to learn the Bon Odori. Click here to watch a video from last year’s workshop!
Once again, we are happy to be joined by Maria Traxler, a current member of the Kizuna International Yosakoi Team. She danced in the 2019 Kochi Yosakoi Festival as a Kizuna member, as well as in the 2015 Kochi Yosakoi Festival as a member of the Shimanto Town team Shimamuta.
This is a family-friendly event, all are welcome. No prior experience is necessary to participate. Please wear clothes that are easy to move in.
This event will be a fun way to get some exercise and learn about a regional dance of Japan. Please sign up today! We are looking forward to seeing you there.
