Ondo-Taiko Japanese Dance

Ondo dancing is a traditional Japanese dance done during Japanese festivals (matsuri).  Ondo is performed to Japanese folk songs along with the sounds of taiko drums.  Dancers form a large circle, sometimes many circles, around a podium called a Yagura.  The Yagura is like a music stage.

The Ondo dance is a rhythmic dance done in unison. Dancers wear brightly colored kimonos or happi coats.  Although there are formal Ondo dancers, Nisei Week encourages beginners to participate and have FUN!
