1995-02-25

The video begins with the announcer asking for silence from the audience. The group of performers then begin their dance while accompanied by guitars, maracas, and accordions. A man in the center dances with a baton and sings the solos. Throughout the performance, the dance will pause while the dancers and other actors partake in a comical theatrical performance before the dances and music resume. The dancers wear sparkling red vests and the baton dancer wears a feathered hat. This dance took place around 5:30 P.M.
