The Concheros dance, also known as the dance of the Chichimecas, Aztecas, and Mexicas, is an important traditional dance and ritual that has been performed in Mexico since the early colonial period. Here in LA, Mexican culture is well preserved and thriving. I believe that their dazzling dance, coupled with the radiant sunlight, creates a beautiful harmony with their traditional performance here. It's one of the many wonderful aspects of everyday life you can experience in LA.
