A performer on a stage with a green floor stands in a dance pose, one arm raised with fingers extended, the other arm down. He wears a leopard-print garment over an orange and green costume with a gold waistband, layered beaded necklaces, arm bands and ankle bands, and a red-and-gold headdress with a red mesh cape draped over one side. A cream curtain and red '2010' lettering form the backdrop, and a standing fan and floor speaker sit nearby. The scene looks like a staged cultural dance performance.
