Dance - All Night Long
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: February 5, 2008
The frenzy of parading started Saturday night and didn't end until dawn Monday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the annual Carnival. Dancers dressed as slaves push a huge float representing the ship that brought the Portuguese royal family to Brazil two centuries ago. Hundreds of drummers in golden conquistador outfits propelled the 4,500-member group from Mocidade de Independente down the parading lane of Rio's "Sambadrome," an 85,000-seat venue built for the annual samba "school" competition.
