The festival which takes place in Puno each year is one of the largest, longest and most extravagant celebrations in fi esta-mad Peru. So many local dance clubs now compete that the contest is spread over two weeks instead of one as in the past. There is nothing casual about these competitions. Groups must have precise numbers of participants, depending on the dance, and perform for exactly eight minutes in front of a packed stadium of transfi xed spectators. After competing, many groups just keep on dancing in the narrow streets of the town.
