Guaripola

In the Peruvian city of Trujillo, a Guaripola is a young woman who leads a band of musicians in a parade.

She often juggles and gives a show of dancing and acrobatic maneuvering using a bar or stick, called a guaripola.

The Guaripolas animate the principal parade and give artistic presentations in several locations in the city.

[2][3] The Guaripola is generally a young girl who leads every band of musicians in the principal parade for the Spring Festival.

The festival presents approximately 10 Guaripolas, with each one giving an independent show (dancing and acrobatic maneuvering with a bar or stick called guaripola) with a band.
