Just curious. These costumes are amazing but I met a lady at London's Panorama last week who had been a carnival queen for four years at Notting Hill. She was walking with a stick and put it down to the weight and effort of being a band queen all those years. How do you protect the welfare of those who dance and carry these costumes? I know some come with wheels but there must be more to it than that plus the costumes must change people's gravity centres and weight distribution. Are physios / medically- qualified people involved in health protection for these masqueraders? Thanks, Sue
This is what you call dancing a costume
