2009 LA Koreatown Parade: Cute Kids!!

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

These cute little girls provided one of the best performances during the Korean Festival Parade along Olympic Boulevard on the afternoon of September 19.

Realize how hard it is to dance down a street in unison and in full Korean costume with headgear! Saw other, older participants who couldn’t even be bothered to walk along properly… Props to the adults who taught these children to dance so well.

Am imagining what these girls are going to be when they grow up… I have additional video clips of them and of the maypole (?) around which the young Korean women right behind them danced. Posting soon…
