A: Getting ready to dance the quadrille for the Guiness book of records.
1.Following a truck with the samba dancers in order to assume positions for the dance
2.Rehearsal - 3rd figure
3. High noon - the real thing
It has become a tradition for the secondary school (about the equivalent of college) graduates in Slovenia to dance a mass quadrille in the streets of the bigger cities throughout the country every third Friday in May. In the last few years graduates from some other countries in the region have joined in, and thus far every year the world record in the number of participants has been broken.

More QUESTIONS -- what is the record? How long they dance? How far they dance? How many if them dance?
Great Q choice. So far I have been amazed at the diversity of Qs!
in the number of participants. this year, over 38.000 kids from about 8 countries were estimated to have participated in the quadrille.
the dance itself is made fairly simple for the occasion. four figures are presented and the whole thing doesn't last more than 10 minutes. the dancers are positioned in rows along the streets as the dance itself doesn't take much space.
Fun concept here! Good job.
What neat thing for them to do. Thanks for sharing this :)
Very original post - thanks for sharing - certainly learned something today.
Love the word and the concept behind it! Lovely tradition.
Good choice for Q. That must have been something to watch.
THIS looks like a FUN event! No wonder it grows each year! Like Quilly, I have been AMAZED by the different "Q"s everyone has come up with! And I thought this was going to be such a difficult letter! I'm stunned!
thank you, robert
minkydo: it's the end of school for them so they have fun...
you're welcome
carletta: i hoped it would be interesting
mar: yes, it is quite attractive.
thank you
dr.john: it is, and i'm lucky enough to be able to watch this from my office downtown.
melli: well, Q isn't an easy letter and it sort of spurs creativity. i was pleased to find put the event would take place before the letter was on although i had an alternative solution :)
