Opening Ceremonry of the 2011 IYF World Camp New York

Tonight, I went to see the stage performance of the opening ceremony of the 2011 IYF World Camp New York held in Huntington, Long Island. The ceremony started at 7:00 pm. The 650-seat theater of the school was almost full, with an audience including young campers. All dancing was performed by mostly Korean young dancers. I was impressed that those dances are well choreographed and the dancers were well trained. Most of all, I was impressed by their passion to learn other countries' dances and demonstrate them at the opening ceremony to welcome young campers from all over the world. This is the first time to hold such a world camp in New York, and it was more well organized than I was expecting. I am so excited to join the stage program on Sept. 1st at their cultural convention day.

Please share some stage performances from tonight's opening ceremony.
