Arco Iris Mexicano translates into The Mexican Rainbow. This is a Folkloric Mexican dance group that I am apart of. I have been dancing in this group for 9 or 10 years and I have just began to notice that there are signs of all the 7 deadly sins.
One of the best reasons to be apart of this group is that we get free food at almost every place that we go to dance. Whether it be a Mexican restaurant or Darien Lake. I love this because we usually can eat as much as we want. Gluttony ? I think so. There are about 3 or 4 little girls in our group and yes they are cute but seriously don't let them fool you... they can be greedy as greedy can be. They like to be in the spotlight and twirl their skirts around and end up messing up the dance. Thanks guys! not really. I guess it is good that the people watching us think its cute. The older more experienced girls try to butt in and guide them and help them but they do not want to be told what to do or they simply just walk away.
I am always proud to show people my Mexican background and if you asked people that know me they would probably tell you I am a proud Latina and I'm not afraid to show it. That is how a lot of the Mexican people are in Rochester. That is why the kids that are in our group are in it in the first place, to show people that they are Mexican and to show them our culture. Lust .... ha ha oh yes there are always boys whether they be Latino or not that enjoy watching us dance and smile at us and talk about who they think is pretty and point them out. All of us girls can tell and yes I guess we blush and cant help but smile because they think we are pretty. Also two other girls and I decided they like watching us dance because they can see up our skirts as we twirl around, good thing we were shorts. When I received my Young Latina Award in 2009 of November I could tell that there were some people in and outside of our group that were envious towards me. I could also tell some girls were gossiping , probably saying things like " who is that girl? why did she get it" and when they read out a list of my accomplishments probably said something like" ya ya big whoop! I have done more things". I think my sisters were a little envious towards me too because they like to tell me that they are more Mexican than me and they think I am not really Mexican but German or Russian or something. That is one bad thing about being adopted i guess. OK here I go .. I will admit I do gossip! There I said it! And don't pretend that you have never gossiped about someone. It is hard to be in a dance group especially when you do not like the dance instructors daughter because she thinks she is all that and ignores you when you try to talk to her and looks you up and down as if to say " Ew what is she wearing? or I really don't like you but I will pretend to". My sisters and I do not like her and gossip about her because she acts like she is too good for us because she is in college and is in all of these smart classes like AP and she wears Abercrombie and Fitch and has a lot of money. Don't tell anyone I said this but I sometimes want to smack her and say " Honey.. grow up. The world does not revolve around you". Other than all of these deadly sins that are committed I love our dance group because we are one big family and we always have a great time.
