Batonbale

A traditional Dominican Carnival and Independence Day performance where groups of girls dance in the street, typically organized in three rows. The name is a combination of baton, referring to the PVC pipes used as props, and the word for dance (Dominican Independence Day is celebrated on February 27, which falls during the Carnival season).

It consists of three rows, and each row has 8 or more girls with musical instruments. They perform steps that change based on the music and their outfits. The Batonbale clothing can be white, yellow, green, red, and other colors.
