School Day Performance for Grades K-12:
Ballet Folklórico de México de Amalia Hernández
Come and experience the explosion of colors, movement, and music that celebrates the vibrant tapestry of Mexican culture. Founded in 1952 by dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernández, Ballet Folklórico de México got its start as a small company that produced traditional Mexican Folklórico dances for a weekly television show. Hernández, who is considered a trailblazer in Mexican folk dance, trained in ballet and modern dance, but was drawn to the rich, vast, and unique culture found throughout Mexico. Inspired by the diversity of the regions, Hernández created dances that celebrated the country’s indigenous legends and traditions dating back to the pre-Columbian era.
