Didn't he feel painful?A "scissors" dancer hummers a nail into fellow dancer Gavilan's tongue during the national scissors dance competition in Villa Maria, southern Lima, April 22, 2007. The Peruvian Scissors Dance (Danza de las Tijeras), continuing a tradition inherited from their Inca ancestors, is characterized by two metal poles which take the shape of a pair of scissors. Dancers compete by dancing as well as by taking part in trials such as glass-eating, walking on fire or sticking wires into their body.
