What is Bon Dance?
Bon Dance is a traditional Japanese festival dance performed during Obon (the summer holiday period in August). It is a joyous event where people of all ages and genders gather to dance in a circle to traditional Japanese music using simple choreography. Originally performed to commemorate and honor ancestors, it is now cherished across Japan as a fun event that deepens community ties.
