Hi family, VINAGANG is back for another IEW season (which is also my last year at Wooster college 😟). For this culture show we didn't have enough folks to whip up another dance medley, but, we got a crew full of cool boys and girls who can act and sing ~
So welcome to Thuy's Nail Salon 💅 - home to some lovely Vietnamese expats in the U.S. who miss their homeland so much they requested their own customers to sing some Vietnamese songs. We created this skit for fun, with the intention to spread the Vietnamese social culture with an exaggerative comedic note ^^
English subtitles are available!

The skit is a collaborative work between all the performers as we improve on the original script. If you want to use our idea as inspiration or remake it, please support us by the credit "Directed/Inspired by VINAGANG 2023 at The College of Wooster (Ohio)"
Music is available upon request ^^

A big thank you to their prompted response in giving VINAGANG the permission to use their works. Without the video presentation, our performance would not have been as big of a success.
