CULTURAL FEAST
The Little Angels of South Korea troupe was founded in 1962. It has made over 500 televised appearances and delivered more than 50 special performances before heads of states. The troupe has also completed 55 dance tours around the globe.
Moreover, the troupe has performed at the opening ceremony of the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the 2002 FIFA World Cup that was jointly hosted by Korea and Japan. They are known as young ambassadors of Korea’s expressive and colourful traditional culture as their performances include folk songs, dance and drum-and-gong rhythms that reflect all that is Korean. The performers comprise female dancers aged between nine and 15.
