PRE-PAGEANT:
GIRLS AT WORK OR PLAY?
To
join the Little Miss Fil-Am 2009 contest also calls
for discipline and dedication from these girls. They
are taught to model, talk with confidence and improve
their poise in about 6 weeks. They also have to learn
their dance steps. As you can see from these pictures,
they are not just learning but they are having fun
as well!
