Okina, literally "old man" is the name of a dance show that includes the dance Senzai, Okina and Sanbaso. These dances have always taken on a dual significance, religious and profane. Originally they were staged by priests near temples, for official occasions, for New Year celebrations or the blessing of a building. Subsequently, even in the secular sphere, these dances were performed in special circumstances, such as New Year's Eve, the inauguration of a theater or the birthday of a highly respected actor.
