You would tell me I was crazy if I told you it was possible to travel to the cities of Silao and Romita from the state of Guanajuato in Mexico by simply driving 30 minutes outside of the city of Atlanta. Luckily, on the Day of Our Lady of Guadelupe, you can vicariously travel to Sinaloa through the beautiful e Ballet Folklórico de México. This is one of several Mexican folkloric dances that are being taught in Georgia.

Everywhere you go, you are able to find pockets of rich culture without having to leave the United States. During this political era, we have to remind ourselves how important it is to have such a mixed population of people surrounding us at all times. Without the different backgrounds, cultures and stories we wouldn’t have anything to learn. Everything would be bland and boring. The world is filled with unique traditions and they need to be shared as much as possible.
