Los Angeles would not be Los Angeles were the Mexican folk dancers to vanish from public events. Like the balloon sellers and street hot dog sellers they are part of the fabric of the city. So, of course, at the annual Blessing of the Animals there were young folk dancers in brilliant color costumes dancing on the bandstand in the center of the Plaza.
