Yosakoi Japanese group dance style, full of energy, joy, and dynamism. It is characterised by the high energy it conveys and by the freedom of its movements, blending traditional Japanese dances such as nihon buyō with more modern and contemporary styles: jazz, hip-hop, aerobics, samba, etc. Yosakoi was created in 1954 in the city of Kochi, on the island of Shikoku, to mark the launch of the Yosakoi Matsuri, a festival whose aim was to revitalize the shopping streets and bring joy back to the local people in the post-war period. It subsequently spread throughout Japan and across the world, where it continues to evolve and develop by incorporating regional characteristics and embracing the trends of each era.
