Grupo de Batuque Finka-Pé (3)

Each dancer must first tie the sash around the hips, as you can see this girl being helped by her mother.




I have no photo which captured adequately the speed with which this child of about 8 years of age gyrated like lightning.






This woman was probably the star dancer, generating warm approval and encouragement from her colleagues.

I think that this picture does capture her agility.

Please read the posts below numbered (1) and (2), which should have appeared at the top.

If anybody would like more detailed information of the group and background of their art, please ask, leave an e-mail address and I will gladly forward what I received from them.
