the national scissors dance competition in Villa Maria, southern Lima, April 22,
2007. The Peruvian Scissors Dance (Danza de las Tijeras), continuing a tradition
inherited from their Inca ancestors, is characterized by two metal poles which
take the shape of a pair of scissors. Dancers compete by dancing as well as by
taking part in trials such as glass-eating, walking on fire or sticking wires
into their body. [Reuters]
