The Sparrow Dance is a folk dance unique to Sendai which mimics the movements of the sparrow, hence the name sparrow dance. In Japanese it is know as, 'Suzume Odori'. It is performed at various festival events throughout the year in Sendai, including the region's well known festival the Aoba Festival.
