Para Para (パラパラ)

[Japanese Syncro Group Dance]

WHAT IS PARA PARA?

Is a popular Japanese synchronised group dance. Unlike most club dancing and

rave dancing, there are specific, preset movements for each song, and everyone

does the same moves at once, much like line dancing. Para Para is said to have

existed since the early 80's, when Europe started selling Italo Disco, Euro Disco,

and later New Wave Music in Japan (New Wave came about in the mid- to late-

1970's), but did not achieve much popularity outside of Japan until the late 90's,

when the popularity boom of para para took place.

Para Para is performed using mostly arm movements; very little lower body

movement is involved save for perhaps moving one's hips or stepping in place,

although a few routines require more detailed leg motions

;;Now that you all know what's about, I will tell you my experience dancing

Para Para. It was my first time doing it, so I think I did it quite ok. it isnt that hard,

even tho I danced at 'beginner' level. The music is so freaking cool, and so is the

game machine. I cant wait to go to Japan and make some moves at a party or something.

FAILED!
