All cultures throughout the world have a tradition in which those that have passed away are remembered. Bailando con la Muerte III incorporates the traditions of many cultures into one exciting event. Bailando
con la Muerte - Dancing with Death, signifies our struggle to comprehend
cultural differences, the metaphor of dancing best describes and
experience with a culture other than our own - one might learn the
steps, however, to grasp the essence, one must delve deeper. A self-examination
of one's own cultural beliefs is a crucial step in this process. |

| This deeper investigation into another culture allows us to relate to others from backgrounds different than our own - an important tool that enables us to participate in our community on a higher level. We are fortunate to live in an area with people from many diverse cultures, and the support of these citizens enriches our community. |  |
