Get ready for Obon 2024 by practicing odori dances with our team of instructors: Julie Satake Ryu, Yumi Higa, and Gail Satake.

Not all our Bon Odori dances are represented in the videos below. If you would like to practice other dances, please attend our upcoming in person Bon Odori Practices.

Definition of Maui-Style Bon Dancing
The Maui-style Bon Dance on Saturday evening is a simpler, communal dance celebration, with a come-as-you-are attitude and dances brought over from Maui. For the Sunday evening performance, Bon Odori is a more formal affair with dancers spending a lot of time and effort getting dressed in kimonos or yukatas and a wide selection of dancing implements being required for the dances.
