Come and see this local children’s group perform a cheerful Sado folk song and dance, Ogi Okesa. This event will be held in Ogi Shopping Street, where the children will form a dance circle and invite you to join them. Even if it’s your first time, jump on in. You’ll learn the moves in no time by following the friendly leaders, dancing together to the feel-good beat. If you join the Ogi Okesa Dance Circle on Saturday night, you’ll know the tune and moves already!

Ogi Okesa Children’s Group This group was formed in 1996. There are 35 members, ranging from first-year elementary school to third-year junior high school students. They are all current or previous members of the Ogi Elementary School Folk Music Club. Every Saturday, the children are taught by and practice with local community members and more senior performers of the same singing parts and instruments. Ogi Sazanami-kai, a local folk music group, teaches them folk dances. They perform at local festivals and events, which includes sending off cruise ships from time to time.
