My Experience with Vanerão
On my motorcycle trip through America, I spent some days in Canela, where my friends told me a little about the Vanerão.
On a Sunday, we went to CTG (center of traditions from Rio Grande do Sul) Querência. It is worth following the page on Facebook to get to know events and news.
Each weekend it is a different group that organizes the parties in Vanerão.

The group that was organizing The party the day I went had some people nominated with some responsibilities. The Woman that took me to dance was Miss Congeniality, that pays attention to everyone that is new, ensuring that they have a good experience.
I really liked this dance.
I think it is for this reason that this rhythm is also known like Limpa Banco (sits cleaner), when the songs started to play there was no one seated.
