Some alas (wings) are mandatory to all Samba Schools. Ala das Baianas is a group of women in round colonial-style skirts. It must have between 100-150 passistas. Being a Baiana is an honor that has to be conquered. It is reserved for ladies of the community, and men are not allowed. The very heavy, luxurious and expensive costumes are subsidized by Samba Schools. More spinning baianas here.
