An important element to Tenerife's Carnival de Santa Cruz is its annual Comparsa.
The Comparsa involves the participation of ten various dance groups ranging from 80 to 100 members, gathering to compete against one another.
They are judged on both their presentation and performance, therefore extravagant costumes and precise dance routines are a focal point.
2014's Comparsa took place on the 22nd of February and proved to be a huge success!
Our Fashion Industry Practice group attended the event along with our Employer Santi Castro and his volunteers.
We were stunned by the elaborate costumes and intricate dance routines displayed by each comparsa.
Los Joroperos came out on top winning first place, a result we were all hoping for as Santi Castro designed their costumes and one of his employees, Juan, is a member of the group.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the show and couldn't have wished for a better ending!
