Write a description of the Obon dance

There is a tradition in Japan that people perform the Obon dance during the Obon festival. This dance was composed to honour ancestors. People usually perform it in the Obon Festival, in mid-August in many regions of Japan and in mid-July in other regions. There are many different forms in different regions. And the most typical form is the circle dance because it express social unity. People make a circle round a yagura, a high wooden stage, some dancers move clockwise, and some counter-clockwise. This tradition should be continue because it is one of the most important traditions. During the Obon festival, lots of people come back to reunite with their families. We all enjoy these customs and traditions because they provide our family with a sense of belonging.
