1993 Carnaval, Dança de Attleboro, MA

1993

A group of all ages performs dances while accompanied by accordions and guitars. Four highlighted dancers perform with tambourines and take turns singing solos. Throughout the event, the dances are paused as a group of separate adult actors give a theatrical performance before the dance resumes. The dancers wear primarily blue and white dresses and suits, with the tambourine dancers wearing most white with blue accents.

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