2019 Bon Odori Practice - Mountain View Buddhist Temple (Traditional Obon Odori Dance Practice)NEW

Ondo Dance practice for Mountain View Buddhist Temple begins starting in June each week. Everyone is welcome to learn the dances.

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.
