Mass Dance in Pyongyang on National Day

A crowd of over 1,000 North Koreans gathered in the center of Pyongyang on September 9, 2015 for a Mass Dance in celebration of the country's National Day.

Can tell which of the men are active military, but not in uniform on duty, simply from the precision and manner of which they where marching.

Strength and continued beauty to the DPRK ☮️❤️🌻✊✊🏽✊🏿

[@Tomasaki]

Pretty Easy to spot the American lol

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Why do you assume every caucasian is a united statian ? By the way there are no amerindian Americans in this video.

[@CrazedJazz]

This shit wild. What a country looks like that hasnt been affected by Western media since the 50's

[@moshet842]

This is actually beautiful

[@Arteoux882]

i really like to look at the women's shoes. they are so varied and some are modern (as in up-to-date fashion). i'd be really interested to find out what the fashion trends of there are!

[@captainkaba1414]

I wouldn't be surprised if there are no trends since as far I know the clothes North Koreans get to wear have to be approved by their government just like anything else

7:44 song name: 달려가자 미래로 by: 모란봉악단 album: 화성 여행 (원본 영화 사운드트랙) found it on Apple Music.

this is like a fever dream

Makes me feel like im sick 🤣

North Korea really is a one of a kind country.

[@Gayalert69]

Thank God!

[@Rick-bc2ds]

The women look healthier than the men.

[@bloomeye6969]

It's so surreal. The dancing is beautiful though!

[@martadabrowska6513]

The girl in red and navy dress looks so lively and bright, I wonder who she is and how she fits in.

[@KasperHauser7762]

I like some of their synthesizer, they hears like from and autoscooter for kids in the 80s... XD

[@farknheathen1131]

I'm curious why they would let foreigners dance to their national holiday

[@l3p3]

We want to get united with the world and peace. But we want to decide for ourself while some forces try to control the world. Almost all other countries, at most the us, are controlled from the background. They also own media and due that, a direct democracy would bring us in captivity by these forces, just look at the south, a perfect meal for hearthless capitalism. Our country can survive by it's own but in global friendship, we can reach the most. Our new leader is more open to the world and he already tries to bring the koreans more together. But as in many parties, there are some other opinions arround him.

[@l3p3]

Here are really smart people but it needs more than just smartness in order to compete. And that is a problem: Instead of competition, we should share all our goods and energy.

[@LeeAnnGlenn]

@@l3p3 Why are you posing as a North Korean when you're German wtf

[@goognamgoognw6637]

@@LeeAnnGlenn Even though he might be German, he spoke the absolute truth. Usa is governed by a deep state of financial parasites who own the media and make sure their malfeasance stays out of sight of the masses.

who knows some song names?? :)

[@AJL_90]

"Darude" - Sandstorm

[@jayeah143]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so weird to be interested on north korean songs

[@lisamwong]

Many ladies have the exact same haircut.

[@niceberliner]

That was my first thought as well. Gosh.

[@viciouslady1340]

Only a limited amount of hair styles are permitted so not many options

[@tomi4926]

@@viciouslady1340 it is actually fake. they have some recommended haircuts, but they can cut their hair as they want

[@AGDinCA]

Fascinating! The melody in the 2nd to last song is clearly of Russian origin, and the melody of that last song is clearly from one of the Western countries, most likely, the United States.

[@ojohsahn762]

Second song "four seasons of Pyongyang" by Wangjaesan Enssemble

[@ojohsahn762]

The very last song is from Moranbong and every single song is actually genuine North Korean song😅

[@AGDinCA]

@@ojohsahn762 Is that so? Well, that makes it even _more_ fascinating!

[@ojohsahn762]

The four seasons of Pyongyang (second song)

[@ScienceDiscoverer]

You can notice that some women are dancing with other women. AWWWW!

[@ShahNewaz1]

They're soo short xD

[@gamesux420]

Not how there's not a single smile on any of these people dancing. Depressing.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

Reflects only on how brainwashed you are, they probably danced the whole day.

[@suomynona7261]

Ever here of shoe 👠 size?

[@RoRo-hw3um]

they need to get some gucci mane blasting up in that bitch then they gon get real lit!

[@ceesduck2933]

Dance or die

[@Maphquack]

Im reporting all these people to the party for being gaunt and morose.

[@spectralv709]

That second song sounds like a cross between 70s gameshow music and Latin waltz.

[@AGDinCA]

Millions of yards of silk on display, such exquisite gowns!

[@Grant5272]

Not a lot of smiling going on here. Having spent a couple of years in South Korea, I can't help but think that something similar to this in South Korea, would have everyone smiling all the time. The South Koreans seem to smile a lot. This is a great series of videos by the way. Thank you for posting them.

[@chriswhamilton]

to be fair, they have probably been dancing for 6 hours solid!

[@bing4126]

lol ok dumb ass.

[@alexl6543]

South Korea is a peach county and North Korea is a coconut county, that's why they don't smile

[@goognamgoognw6637]

shut up yankee with your sorry excuses, the fact is South Korea does not have the happiness and mentality to organize such happy traditional events. And these people have been dancing all day.

[@joeroberts6682]

The most bizzare thing about this is that they seemingly know the corresponding dances to each and every song played. Imagine if this was the only music you ever heard and you were forced to practice or you would be sent to the gulag. This is pure torture.

[@goognamgoognw6637]

do you realize how stupid you sound ?

[@fetuu]

Forced to practice? 😂 thats absurd. Have you heard of learning things for fun?

[@tadeas_uncut]

The ladies have beautiful dresses and the guys just plain shirts... shame they didn't wear some traditional clothes too

[@윤영노-d8n]

歌舞에 能한 民族임엔 틀림없는 것 같습니다. 인위적이든 자연적인 것 불문하고..

looks cool

[@Alan-gg7cz]

Look at the women everyone of them have the same hairstyles???

[@Alan-gg7cz]

Obviously, they love their country but, doubtful if they have the same feeling about their dictator!

[@chriswhamilton]

They are tourists

[@hellohi6724]

They smile at the camera when dancing "Get me outta here"
