I always wanted to go when I was younger, but I was never allowed. I moved out of home when I was 16 but then having to pay rent (working and studying full time) I couldn't afford it.
As I've gotten older my anxiety has gotten worse and so I've chosen to stay away from the crowds as I'd rather not put myself in a situation I know I won't do well in.
It is ridiculous that they want to move it or stop it. It's history.
Interesting read Noel and great range of photos. I imagine organising and preparing for the dances with all the gorgeous costumes must be so exciting and uplifting for the community

You say "they wouldn’t dream about trying it in Brazil" but don't explain the Sambadrome. That tells me a lot about you.
