Around every corner of this great city, lurks a wonderful surprise. And last weekend was no different. In the heart of the Pilsen community, in front of the National Museum of Mexican Art (NMMA), dancers dressed in Aztec Warrior garments performed a ritual ceremony for community members to enjoy. The dancers, encompassing various dance groups across Chicagoland as well as Kenosha, chanted, danced, and played instruments evoking a spiritual nature for all passersby to take part in.
