The winner of the 2022 Rio Carnival has been announced
The samba competition as part of the Rio Carnival, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, has ended. After the colorful 'champions parade', the winning dance school was declared.
The world's biggest carnival, which is back on the field after a two-year epidemic, continues with all its enthusiasm. Rio Carnival, which started last week in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the scene of flamboyant shows by dancers from samba schools.
The winner of the Samba dance competition was the Grande Rio school.
This is how the members of the winning school celebrated their victory after the competition held at the Sambadrome, the carnival area.
Six of the 12 samba schools, which organize parades on Fridays and Saturdays with dancers, musicians and walking dance platforms wearing colorful costumes, marched in the "champions parade" last night.
Samba schools were given a certain amount of time to tell a story through music and dance performances, and the show was evaluated by the jury and the winning school was announced at the end of the night.
Due to the spread of the Omicron variant across the country, officials said that this year, large-scale carnival street parties called “blocos” are not allowed, but small-scale parties can be. Governor Paes said at the opening of the carnival, "The municipality will not prevent people from gathering and celebrating in public, but it cannot be on a grand scale."
The Rio Carnival will run until April 30.
