1 A third, and no less essentialised or unexpected, iteration of Latin nationality was performed by this same group later in the same event, as they led the audience in a Salsa dancing class. Quite what national symbols were incorporated in this performance is left unclear here, as this writer suffers from a morbid aversion to audience participation and had relocated to a quieter, and safer, distance by the time the dancing began.
