The Namehaga dance is a ritual performed from the New Year by the Japanese mythological creature, the Namahage, a kind of demon. The Namahaga goes in search of naughty and lazy children during the New Year to frighten them to improve their lives. The ritual originates from the northern part of Honshū Japan.

Characteristics of the Namahage dance:
- Great for interacting with audiences.
