Children
will perform a dance called
"yukinko."
This dance, whose name means "snow
sprites," will be performed by 150
students from Nagano City schools. They
will wear old-style straw snow coats for
the first part of the performance. Then
they will remove the coats to reveal
costumes based on the flags of the
participating countries. Dressed like
this, they will lead the national Olympic
teams into the stadium, accompanied by
sumo wrestlers. The steps of the dance
and the costumes will be a secret until
the Ceremony begins, so be sure to watch!
