A “scissors” dancer hammers a nail into fellow dancer’s tongue during the national scissors dance competition in Peru, April 22, 2007. During the Peruvian Scissors Dance (Danza de las Tijeras), 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 to show spiritual superiority.
