Ballet Folklórico Xanharati

To my Xanharati Family 🕊️

Some experiences leave such a profound mark on our hearts that no amount of words can truly capture them. Our journey to Round Lake was one of those experiences. I return with a heart full of gratitude, pride, and emotion for everything we shared together.

First, I want to express my deepest thanks to the parents who have placed their trust in me to guide their children through this beautiful world of dance. Thank you for believing in our vision, for your unwavering support, and for showing that beyond the stage, we are a community that genuinely cares for one another.

To my viajeros, my dancers, thank you for embracing every one of my folkloric adventures. Thank you for trusting the process, for persevering, and for staying aboard this ship even when the journey becomes challenging. Every rehearsal, every sacrifice, every smile, and every effort shines through on stage. I am incredibly proud of each and every one of you. Day after day, you prove that you are capable of achieving great things and that together we have built something far more valuable than a dance group—we have built a true family.

Every performance we present is the result of countless hours of hard work, discipline, passion, and dedication. Seeing the heart you pour into every step, every performance, and every shared dream fills me with admiration and hope. Thank you for making it all possible.

I would also like to thank de la Rosa Family, teacher Francisco, teacher Adriana and their mother, who became part of our family and helped enrich the Ballet Folklórico Xanharati repertoire by bringing the beautiful polkas of Tamaulipas into our program. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and contributing to our artistic growth.

And, of course, I want to thank my mother and my sister, who have always supported me unconditionally throughout this journey. No matter where in the world they may be, they have always been present with their love, encouragement, and strength.

Today, I celebrate everything we have accomplished together, but above all, I celebrate the family we have built under the roof of Ballet Folklórico Xanharati. May we continue sharing dreams, stages, and unforgettable moments that will remain in our hearts forever.

With love and gratitude,

Paulo García

🔹 Happy 414 Day Milwaukee! 🔹

Today we had the honor of participating in a powerful High School Student & Parent Educational Forum organized by the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation / Mexican Fiesta.

We were proud to connect with families, students, and community leaders who are shaping the future through education and culture.

To all the students: your dreams are valid, your voice matters, and your future is bright. 🌟

To the parents and community: thank you for continuing to uplift and guide the next generation.

Together, we celebrate culture. Together, we build futures. 💫 🕊️

Today we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 🍀—a holiday that goes far beyond Ireland. Did you know it also has a unique connection to Mexico? 🇲🇽

In 1847, during the U.S.–Mexico War, a group of Irish immigrants known as the Saint Patrick’s Battalion chose to fight alongside Mexico. They shared values, faith, and a deep understanding of struggle and resilience.

Their bravery left a lasting mark on the history of both nations, becoming a powerful symbol of international solidarity.

Today, we celebrate not only Irish culture, but also the unexpected bonds that unite people across borders.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 🕊️

Thank you Dra. Xochitl Yadira and Northwestern Mutual for inviting us to perform at the 2026 HITEC Emerging Executive Program Kick-Off! 🕊️

It was truly an honor to be part of such an inspiring event and to share our culture with so many amazing leaders and professionals. We enjoyed every moment and are grateful for the warm welcome and incredible energy in the room.

Looking forward to future opportunities to celebrate and connect through our roots. Thank you again for having us! ✨
