World Folk Fest


A while back I saw this Chinese group* perform at a World Folk Fest, a place where dancers from all over the world joined to showcase their country's culture. I particularly enjoyed the group from Poland, because they sang a Polish song with deliciously tight harmonies and then... sang America the Beautiful. (Yes, I cried, though I cried way more during the "thousand arms" dance the Chinese girls did. It was so beautiful!)

But then the Hungarian group was fantastic, the Belgian flag throwers were mesmerizing, and how that group of Korean kids stuck to a steady rhythm I'll never know. Basically, you should have been there, cause everything was breathtaking.


*Check it-- they're wearing ABBA pants.
