Russian Festival in Trafalgar Square
The girls’ ballet teacher is Russian, so their dance group is asked to perform at many Russian events. It just so happens that once a year they get asked to dance in Trafalgar Square, but it usually falls on a Sunday so the girls can’t attend. This year, it was on a Saturday. The girls were excited about having this fun experience, until they woke up to freezing cold weather and lots of rain.
But, the show must go on . . .
When Chris arrived at the Square with the girls, it seemed practically empty.
But, as soon as the songs and dances started, people came from all sides of the Square to the main stage.
Hannah and Cami did well in their dance, as the only Americans (actually, the only ones with no Russian background).
Hannah even made it onto the big screen!
In the finale, all the performers came out and sang a song in Russian . . . guess which two of the group just bounced along to the music, not understanding any of it . . .
We knew London was full of diversity and culture, but we never thought we’d get so much Russian culture! Funny enough, after 3 years with this dance teacher, the girls still don’t know any Russian words.
