Love that this video was created for Culture Day by Hidali.

Hands up in Okinawa dance
The Rainbow Festival last just a few hours. The Okinawan dancers are a hunky highlight.
Two of my favorite brunettes lip sync and dance competitively
Jimmy Fallon & Paul Rudd.
Like a crash, it’s hard not to stare at these weekend rockers
There’s a decades long tradition of mostly male rockers dancing at the entrance to Yoyogi Park. They are sporting nearly identical 1950s greaser big hair and outfit. Maybe they were young when they started, but now they’re getting a bit older and drunker. I’ve heard warnings that they do not like it when non-members join the dance. On the plus side, are the tattoos and the sheer love of dance.

That’s some fancy move on the dance floor

Hakuho doing a ritual dance, dressed like a sacred Shinto tree
There is something deeply spiritual about sumo. I love that Hakuho’s belt and lightning bolts evoke the ones you see tied around Shinto shrine trees. Maybe the gods enjoy hanging out with the sumo players, as much as with the micro- green spaces by the shrines.
“Would you hold it against me?”
Another video of active duty soldiers, occupying foreign lands and lip-syncing pop. This time it’s US soldiers in Afghanistan lipping and dancing to Britney Spears. I am relieved to know that military service is not just about killing and violence.
(Previously we featured Israeli and US soldiers doing Keisha and Lady Gaga).
Industrial age love and choreography
These dance moves make me hopeful. Genki Sudo’s “World Order.” (Via Joe My God).
