Brighton Beach aka Little Odessa is the largest Russian speaking community in the world outside of the USSR.  In Seabreeze Park, across the street from where I live, dancing and singing is presented every Sunday during Russian Heritage Month.  The Russians are world known for their ballet, ice skating and singing, so it is no surprise to find great young talent here.  The cultural traditions and discipline continues.

    Mike, I just walked up to the side of the stage, no one was there. I was about 10 feet from the dancers, shoting from the boardwalk side toward the train line. I got shots like this of the back stage.

    Everyone thanks for taking the time to look at my photos and comment. I usually don't post more than 4 or 5 photos but it was very difficult to choose. It is a photolog.
