People outside of the USA: What are some interesting, cool, or fascinating aspects of your country you'd like to share with the world?

My wife’s late grandfather was from Latvia, displaced during the Second World War, I always enjoy reading things about the country and relaying them on to her.
Passion for dance is a really cool thing to have in my book, preserves something that words doesn’t.
I'm not even into dancing but goodness me, that sounds like a lotta fun to watch. I'll have to see one of y'all's competitions if I ever find my way around the Baltics!
Competitions aren't that interesting to the average person. The Song and Dance festival would be a must-see:

We take folk dancing very seriously. There are A LOT of folk dance ensembles and they vary from random hobbyist groups to company-sponsored groups of 80+ dancers. There are lots of competitions, drama and every 5 years - a huge concert where most ensembles participate and perform in a stadium. One dance can contain up to 1000 dancers at the same time.
During this year's final dance the spectators mentioned that they could feel the ground shaking.
