During the National Bambuco Gay Pageant, celebrated in July 2013 in Bogota, young drag queens challenge each other wearing traditional Colombian clothes and dancing the bambuco, a regional, folkloric, 'religious related' dance of the Andes, characterized by the elegance of its movements and precious dresses. The theme of bambuco is love. The process of falling in love and courting in the rural society is expressed through the dance.
