Dancing for Mom on May 10

That's not a misprint — Mother's Day is always on the 10th day of May in Mexico. That means that this year families will be hiring bands, buying enough flowers to fill a stadium and taking moms all over this country out to lunch…on a Thursday!

And on that day, or another day very near to May 10, most Mexican schools host giant parties for the moms. The honored guests are served refreshments, win prizes and are serenaded with music and dance. All elementary students learn a different of Mexico's folk dances each year so that by the time they've finished sixth grade they know many of the country's favorite traditional dance steps and moves.
