is a synchronised group dance originated in Japan. Unlike most club dancing and rave dancing, there are specific, preset movements for each song, and everyone does the same moves at once, much like line dancing. Para Para is said to have existed since the early 80's, when Europe started selling Italo Disco, Euro Disco, and later New Wave music in Japan (New Wave came about in the mid- to late-1970's), but did not achieve much popularity outside of Japan until the late 90's, when the popularity boom of para para took place.

Para Para has been strongly associated with eurobeat. Dave Rodgers, a highly-recognized eurobeat producer, has described Para Para as the only way to dance the genre of music, eurobeat, which is usually "so fast".

Para Para is performed using mostly arm movements; very little lower body movement is involved save for perhaps moving one's hips or stepping in place, although a few routines require more detailed leg motions. It has been speculated that it is a descendant of the traditional Bon Odori dance, however there is no known link. The dance originated from the early days in the 80's when men working in the VIP room in clubs would choreograph dances to impress the women . The dance style then grew from there. The dances are performed to fast, upbeat music such as Eurobeat, Hyper Techno and Eurodance. Fans of Para Para dancing often call themselves "Paralists".

Some variants of Para Para are also present, such as TechPara (which would be danced to Hyper techno) and TraPara (which would be danced to trance). This is also known as Torapara due to trance being written as in Japanese.

Para Para Brothers has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
