Dancing
What is parapara you ask? It is a popular synchronised group dance. Unlike most club dancing and rave dancing, there are specific, preset movements for each song, and everyone does the same moves at once, much like line dancing. Para Para is said to have existed since the early 80's, when Europe started selling Italio Dancing, Euro Disco, and later New Wave Music in Japan (New Wave came about in the mid-80's), but did not achieve much popularity outside of Japan until the late 90's, when the popularity boom of para para took place.
Para para has devoted fan bases in all countries outside Japan. Many paralists often gather a few times a year for performances and events at conventions and parties.
The United Kingdom, the United States, Finland, Norway and Russia are notable for having para para teams and more active fanbases.
However, most events in the United States occur at anime conventions, due to the fan base being very scattered.
