 Today we're here with a few young people including myself and we are just learning a few of the steps of the masquerade creating a choreography so that we can do in the streets for December. Now I have been a masquerader for six years and what I believe is so important about masquerade is not just seeing the pretty colors of the streets but it's also learning about the history of the masquerade. Not just the masquerade dancers but the characters of the masquerade so I've not only been a masquerade dancer but I've played Pai Banan, I've played Mariusette, I've played many other of the characters of the masquerade. I enjoy seeing the people's faces especially the older people when you see them on the streets and it's just a nostalgic feel for them. They get so excited, the children are terrified, it's really some excitement on the streets and I will continue dancing masquerade and that's what makes me 7-5-8 proud. This is our St. Lucia.
