What are the characteristics of the classical dance Kanayo in Okinawa?

Ganayo, a song sung by young men and women on an outing, was put on the stage during the Meiji period. Dance movements have more upper limbs, lively music and a sense of jumping. Dance is performed by women, which is different from traditional dignified and elegant women's dance. Relatively speaking, Canayo dance presents a light, jumping, clear and pleasant style. Most dances use arm-in-arm movements, and dance performance is difficult.
