More than a news conference, it was a show of its own, with the Pava World Korean Traditional Band performing, and traditional lion dancers in their colorful costumes. Members of the Gevorkian Dance Company held the attention of the media and onlookers, while sleepy “pandas” enjoyed the atmosphere, and a Chinese face-changing, or “bian-lian” dancer prepared to perform.
