Classic Dancing
 |
Buyô, Japanese dances, were developed based on incantations such as invocations of the spirits of the dead and prayers for the repose of souls. Buyô consists of the following three elements:
|
- Mai means to turn the body round.
- Odori means to jump.
- Furi means to impersonate movements reflecting everyday and social conditions. Mai, odori, and furi are described in their original meanings above, but they all mean dancing now.
