The Big Dance Extravaganza at LatinoLife in the Park is one of the biggest dates of the year for the amazing folk dance groups of London. Representing over 10 of the 20 countries in Latin America, from Tijuana to Tierra del Fuego, the parade of over 500 people of all ages is a veritable kaleidescope of colour, movement and sound. In a display of Latin American folklore that is unparallelled in the UK, nowhere else do so many Latin Americans congregate to show off their traditions and culture, dressed in the most elaborate and astounding costumes you’ll see, most of them imported from South America. Many of those in the parade are children and young people so it is really inspiring to see how they engage in their identity and culture with such pride
