Main Stage
On the KOKUYOSA 2026 main stage we’re planning a diverse program centred on Yosakoi that crosses both borders and genres.
- Sō-odori — danced by every participant together
- Collaboration performances that reach beyond country and team boundaries
- Contest performances where each team’s individuality shines
- Special stages featuring Nikkei dance and related performances
From the traditions of the homeland to the free, open expression that is uniquely North American — we’ll bring you a main stage in true KOKUYOSA spirit, for performers and spectators to enjoy together.
