Tribal dance

We chanced upon this performance at one of the pavilions, and in all honesty, I loved the musical accompaniment and had a hard time staying still while trying to record a bit of it ;-). When we first arrived at the venue, I couldn’t see anything so a member of our group asked if I could move to the front to take pictures (but now that I think of it, that was probably the men’s seating section). Instead, we were taken upstairs to the VIP viewing stand, where we had a perfect view of the performers and a nice chat with some of the people there.

I have two very short clips from the show but will probably have to include the second one with the next picture. Hope you enjoy it!

This is a terrific image, Helen. It is quite interesting seeing how the people over there react with their customs. I have to admit being a westerner that it is strange, but such a learning experience. Well done. V.
