Nine countries from all over the world are part of the International Dance Festival this year. 

Tuesday countries from Lithuania, Taiwan, Russia and Japan gave onlookers a quick look at their traditional dances.

They've already performed at two galas in Burley.  Once the week's over they'll have performed seven more in Idaho Falls, Blackfoot and Rexburg.

Many of the dancers have already had down time to visit Yellowstone Park. 

"My favorite part is the people," said Taiwanese Dancer, Livier Tu.  "They always give us a big hand after we perform our dance."

"We visited Yellowstone," said Russian Performer, Olesya Lisenko.  "Yes it was so beautiful," said Anoelina Strom.  "So many waterfalls, it's so beautiful." 

For the first time in 24 years of coming to America the dancers will perform in Idaho Falls Tuesday night at the Colonial Theater, located on A St. at 7 p.m.
