San Diego Yosakoi perform in Balboa Park!

San Diego Yosakoi performed today in Balboa Park! They would dance at noon at the Exchange Pavilion in the Plaza de Panama, part of a fun Japanese cultural event.

I spied members of the group in the Spreckels Organ Pavilion earlier in the day. They were rehearsing for the big performance.

Then I and many others enjoyed their show at the World Design Capital Exchange Pavilion. Afterward, the dancers would teach those in the audience how to dance!

Being a bit ignorant, I asked Google what Yosakoi is, and I learned it’s a high-energy, energetic Japanese dance style that combines traditional Japanese dance with modern music and choreography. It’s often performed by large teams at festivals and events throughout Japan.

San Diego Yosakoi formed this year. Visit their Instagram page here!
