General information

"Amalia Hernandez, from Mexico City, founded the first school dedicated to Ballet Folklórico in 1958. On the U.S. side of the border, Ballet Folklórico was popularized in the 1960s and 70s, specifically in Los Angeles and El Paso, two cities with large Hispanic American populations, as a way to promote pride in Mexican cultural heritage and to enhance self esteem. Today, many young men and women in the Sun City, and throughout the nation, enjoy learning, practicing and performing Ballet Folklórico. This artistic form of communication unites Hispanic Americans across the country, giving them a sense of community and cultural pride, as well as allowing the community to share their heritage with others."
