Why Not Dance? serves as a unique look into the Awa Odori Festival, a music/ dance festival that highlights traditional music and dances of Japan. The festival is the largest dance festival in Japan, attracting over 1.3 million tourists every year, and served as a unique exploration of the traditional garb and cultural representation that is no longer prevalent in typical Japanese lifestyle.
The video served as a way to acquire greater insight into one of the largest festivals of Japan, as well as a cultural depiction of dance that highlights sound and visuals.
