I just can't resist throwing in this video of the secret life of Parisians when no tourists are watching.

I find it hard to get good dancing photos because just as I have one lined up, the dance carries them away. The 2 women's faces that can be seen in Bixa's lovely crisp pic seem to show they would rather be elsewhere.

Thanks, Questa. Yes they do look as though it was a chore. It was an insanely hot day & the parade kept stopping to roast the participants in the sunshine. I can't even imagine hot those quaint outfits must be.
Your digital camera will stop-action the dance for you. Kerouac has a whole thread somewhere that gets much of its charm from the motion blur of the lively dancers.

I love these. Thank you all. What was the occasion for wonderful #4, bixa? Or Russky #8, questa? Kerouac's Seine-side ones -- *sigh* -- speak for themselves.

Thank you, Lola! My #4 is part of this thread, in which, if I ever manage to complete it, you'll be able to see those dancers & many more. |

Oh, Bix...those colours are so vivid. My eyes can hardly take them all in. What a brilliant culture.

Bad dancers get thrown overboard?

I'm sure that was fun to watch, Amboseli. At Place de la République |

The limited color range in your picture makes it even more striking, Amboseli.
Joyous movement beautifully captured, Htmb.

More important than the actual dancing is knowing how to swish the fabric.  |
