Get a taste of this 400-year-old dancing tradition from the safety of your home; this year’s dances are being livestreamed on YouTube, so you can take part in the dancing no matter where you are in the world!
Normally we would recommend wearing geta (wooden sandal-like footwear) for the dancing, but this time around it’s probably best to go without them – your flooring will thank you later.
