No, they aren't Geisha. My guess, they're regular townsfolk in Tokushima participating in the festivities. Geisha wear very distinctive kimono. Besides, the Geisha reside in Kyoto.
The Awa Dance Festival (阿波踊り ,Awa Odori?) is held from 12 to 15 August as part of the obon festival in Tokushima Prefecture on Shikoku in Japan. Awa Odori is the largest dance festival in Japan, attracting over 1.3 million tourists every year.
why do they always move/walk like that?

nice to see the lower sounding instruments walk in the back, because the low frequency's travel further.
Love the dance too :)
