Ballet Folklorico Mexico
Dance & Music of Mexico
Ballet Folklorico has been delighting audiences throughout North
America for more than 30 years. Decked out in lavish, flamboyant costumes
- some that feature spectacular headdresses that reach a jaw-dropping
six feet in length, Ballet Folklorico takes its audiences on a ride
of regional dances from Mexico.
The company, which can vary in size from three to 25 performers, introduces
audiences to fascinating folklore and magnificent ceremonial rituals
from regions of Veracruz to Tamaulipas, including traditions of the
Aztecs, Michoacan and may others. And they won't forget to perform the
famous "Mexican Hat Dance." Ballet Folklorico's entertaining
and educational program has charmed audiences at schools, festivals,
theaters, parades and a host of other venues.
"Students
(and educators) gasped when the curtains opened to reveal the dancers
in authentic Aztec dress, and remained spellbound through the entire
show, enthusiastically applauding every 30 seconds or so when the current
World Champion of Trick Rope performed his amazing feats in the grand
finale."
