1993 Carnaval, Dança de Lowell, MA (3)

1993

A group of young performers dance while accompanied by a string ensemble. One woman in the center performs with a whistle and a tambourine and also sings a solo. Throughout the event, the dances will pause while some of the participants act in a comical theatrical performance before the dances and music resume again. The dancers wear primarily pink and white dresses with some performers wearing black and white suits or maid outfits.

Performed in the Salão Da Igreja De Santo Antônio (St. Anthony's Church) in Lowell, MA.
