UK - Notting Hill Carnival - Dancing in the streets

Dancers in colorful and revealing costumes perform during the Notting Hill Carnival. This is an annual event which has taken place on the streets of Notting Hill each August, over two days since 1965. It is led by members of the Caribbean population, many of whom have lived in the area since the 1950s. The carnival attracts up to 2 million people, making it the second largest street festival in the world. The theme for this year was: Welcoming the World because London was on the same weekend taking on the mantle of organising the 2012 Olympic Games. (Photo by Gideon Mendel/Corbis via Getty Images)
