this is a very nice dance...i'm amazed by it because its older women dance and their skirts really look like a peacok

Haha, they are atually not old at all, ~20. Must be different makeup styles.  They used to retire in their mid-20s.

@Depak86 It's called The Peacock Princess. There are a lot of versions of that story where a heavenly maiden gets her dress taken from her and she marries a man on earth but eventually gets her dress back and returns to the heavens.

Gnomatic meant the lead dancer is Korean, not the dance.  I thought the same way when I first read it.

This is TOTALLY from DAI ethnic. Not korean.
