Many ports—especially those in South America and Japan—arranged for entertainers to welcome us and/or see us off. There were dancers and drummers, stilt walkers and singers, rope jumpers and acrobats. Here is a collection of some memorable ones.

Beautiful ! Do I see a Colors of the World Version 2.0 in the making? There are so many other points of comparison too such as head coverings or the shape of the skirts. All lively and welcoming.
Yes Colors of the World is in the making. But there is almost too much material!
love the costumes and I am sure the music and dance were equally exciting.
They are really fun to wake up to!
What a wonderful gift of not just delightful entertainment, but human connection with the expressive artistry of people in these cultures. How I wish we had more of that.
We’ve got room on the ship for you, Christine!
