Dancers on Parade

The Christmas Parade, Falmouth
Falmouth Dance Academy looked like they had almost a hundred kids dancing along the street in costume or at least FDA warm-ups, with the director alongside rolling the cart with the music boom box, a can the size of a chair. One wave of dancers "marched", one wave had a double circle formation, the next bunch did something else.
Wow. (Though nobody did Samba, the ultimate parade dance.)
The Shriners brought in a semi-trailer of clown props and performers, 10 clown cars, the Aleppo Oriental Band featuring men in Arab robes with baggy shiny pants and musical instruments.
The local clowns, the Suspenders, had maybe a dozen jugglers and unicyclists, a homey, friendly, non-glitzy group.
