Hoedown performers 1950

Black and white photograph. Two young women are standing, each with their right foot in front, between parallel bamboo stalks. Two other young women are squatting on either side, holding the bamboo stalks. One of the standing women is wearing an ornate dress and is of asian descent. The other standing woman has dark short hair, and is dressed in slacks and a white button up shirt. Over the top is a gauzy shirt of some kind. The two kneeling women are in white peasant shirts and skirts with plaid.
