Swirling Skirts

A very fancy dinner and entertainment was held for the people who were attending the UNESCO World Heritage Conference. The location was in the Danza, which is a large plaza right around the corner from where we live. This is on a hillside, so the general public could watch from the sidewalk on the top side.
Part of the entertainment were men and women performing traditional dances. The temporary stage is always wood, and their stomping shoes make a wonderful noise (like clogs). Every person is dressed in a different vibrant color, and they twirl their skirts in such a way that it creates constantly changing designs.
Because of the distance, darkness, and where I had to stand, the picture quality is bad, but the women are so beautiful, I'm posting it anyway. I wish you could all see them.
