Generation Gap - Dances
Hmong Dancers


Among the younger generations, Hmong traditional music and dance is giving way to popular forms found in American society. Although traditional Hmong dances are still performed, particularly at special community events, younger Hmong are gravitating to Western styles such as ballet (for young women) and hip hop and break dancing (among young men).   Below are some links to video of Hmong dance
