ソーランぶし

In Japanese elementary, junior high and senior high schools, we have a big athletic festival（うんどうかい）. It seems like ソーランぶし(the Japanese dance performed at I-Fair) is often performed at many Japanese schools as an athletic performance of athletic festival, which I didn't know. Each school seems to rearrange the dance so that their dance performance can be unique.

Here is one example at a Japanese elementary school.


This one is probably at a junior high school.



I danced おはらぶし when I was a junior high school student. おはらぶし is a special dance in my hometown, かごしま. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a video at Youtube, which implies that おはらぶし is not as popular as ソーランぶし.
