Tonight is the first of 13 practices for Obon Dance. The Southern District coordinates and learn most of the same dances, with a few variances or favorites at each temple. When you travel the rounds for Obon this summer, you will be familiar with most of the Obon dances.
We start our practices early to give our Sangha an opportunity to dance at the other temples starting with this weekend, schedules are available at any Southern District temple. Otherwise, people come to practice for the social aspect and for the exercise, oftentimes we get as many as 300 to 400 for practice.
Between 7 and 9 pm, every Tuesday and Thursday, until we start preparing our parking lot for our Obon carnival itself.
Gassho,
