Went to the Higashi Rinkan Awa Odori dance festival on Aug. 2, 2015 from 5:30 pm to 9 pm in Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan. The dance was held near Higashi Rinkan Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line. It was excellent, but it was a hot/humid evening. Watched it at the Higashi Chuo Enbujo and Nishi Ekimae Embujo.

The 39th Yamato Awa Odori dance festival was held on July 25-26, 2015 from 5 pm to 8:30 pm in Yamato, Kanagawa, Japan. I went to see it on July 25, very hot, humid day. This video shows the following dance troupes: Ioto-shima-chidori-ren, Azuma-ren, Chidori-ren, Sonjo-ren, Ukiyo-ren, Yokohama Nishiya-ren, Kensetsu-ren, Medaka-ren, Fuzuki-ren, and Shinbashi-ren.

Chidori-ren is based at the NAF Atsugi Base and I was impressed by a few American dancers. They were as good as the Japanese dancers.
