Recording of a traditional dance performed after the proclamation of Carnival 2015 in Renteria (Gipuzkoa). The peculiar characteristic in this performance is that all the dancing characters are dressed as their other gender, meaning, men as women and vice versa. Couples are placed in a row and the last person, a young man wearing a blond wig and a rather short skirt, passes beneath the legs of the rest, while a girl disguised as a militar General is keeping pace with a cane and takes care that this person goes under the legs of all the comrades. At one point, this disguised boy escapes and chases the General woman while she screams terrified and people clap.
