In Tokushima prefecture of Japan, there's a dance you must go see.

It's called 'Awa Odori' and is a traditional dance which most of the people living in the area can dance.

They have a big dance festival in August where they have men and women dressed in traditional outfit.

Ladies wear straw woven hats almost hiding their face, and men wearing a towel over their head and face.
