Dancing is a big part of the celebrations of Fiesta de La Tirana, and dance groups and pilgrims dance before the Virgin. "The doors of the “temple,” or sanctuary, at La Tirana, are formally opened on July 10, and Bailes make their entrada from July 11-14. Each baile is assigned a specific time for entry, and the same order applies for departure at the end of the week.

Normally a priest is there to welcome and bless the group at the Cruz Calvario formally." 1
