Join us for Otakon’s first-ever Odottemita showcase to celebrate classic songs and dances!
Odottemita (踊ってみた), which literally translates to “I tried dancing,” is a dance culture where performers create and share choreography to Vocaloid, anime, and J-pop songs. What began as online dance covers has evolved into a global community of dancers.
Whether you are a longtime member of the community or discovering it for the first time, we hope you enjoy the music, passion, and energy that makes this community so special!
Applications close on Friday, July 10th, 2026.
All submissions will receive a response on or Sunday, July 12th, 2026.
Dance till you drop!
