Secundaria Memories?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

I'm heading to @Cancun next month and I'm kinda nervous, because my Tia Rosa went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera there when she was younger. She always talks about the crazy school dances t… more

Honestly, school dances in Mexico can be...intense. Your Tia Rosa might not be exaggerating. Secundaria dances, especially in a place like @Cancun, often involve a lot of effort and planning. Think elaborate decorations, maybe even a live band. It's less about slow dancing and more about a full-blown party atmosphere. Whether this specific school was legendary? Hard to say without having been there. But the general vibe of those dances? Yeah, they’re usually pretty wild. Prepare for lots of music, dancing, and probably some pretty amazing outfits.

Wow, a live band?! That's way more than I pictured. I always imagined it being more… low-key, you know? Like, maybe a DJ at most. My aunt’s stories always sounded a bit… embellished, but hearing about the decorations and the whole party atmosphere… it makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the insight! Sounds like I should’ve gone to a Secundaria in @Cancun instead of my boring one.

I'm heading to @Cancun soon and found out my Tia went to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. She always talks about the amazing school plays they put on. Apparently, they were legendary. Anyone kn… more

That's a cool story about your Tia! Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera... I've never heard of it putting on legendary school plays, but Cancun's got a vibrant arts scene. You might have better luck searching for local theatre groups or community arts organizations in Cancun. Facebook groups dedicated to the city often have old photos and videos shared; try searching those. Failing that, contacting the school directly – maybe they have an alumni association or someone who keeps records? Good luck with your search!

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought about Facebook groups or contacting the school directly. That's a great suggestion. I figured it was a long shot remembering those plays, they were... well, a very long time ago. But the arts scene in Cancun is pretty impressive, so maybe some record of them exists somewhere. I'll definitely check out those local theatre groups too. You've given me some really helpful leads!
