PHOTOS BY OSCAR TORRES/THE PIONEER

This photo essay is about the Danza Azteca group and their annual ceremony that took place at the Mission Rec center in San Francisc. I thought I would cover this because it is an important factor to the Mexican community in San Francisco. The Mission itself has so much culture and I feel that not a lot of people know much about the Aztec dances. The feathers alone as noted by one of the dancers are sold by each, which range from ten to sixty dollars. Hopefully, people find these photos to be enlightening in the fact that the Mexican community is still engraved to their roots and not just all about the flashy lowrider cars.
