ParaPara / パラパラ (pronounced pah-ra pah-ra) is a Japanese dance phenomenon that involves a basic step motion paired with specific arm and upper body movements. ParaPara dancing is performed to upbeat electronic music known as eurobeat. A related style, known as Techpara, is catered specifically to a genre of music called hyper techno. The ParaPara dance craze is currently undergoing its fourth boom in Japan, thanks to a burst of Gal culture. ParaPara dancers (often called Paralists) have begun to pop up all across the world, and its growing popularity is undeniable.

American Dream (Mina, Maggie, and Erin) is a ParaPara & Techpara unit that was formed in June 2005 by Toshiro "Gon-S" Takano of Avex. American Dream is the first ParaPara team to represent the United States in Japan, and is an active part of promoting ParaPara dancing in North America.
