In 1952, Amalia Hernández, dancer and choreographer, founded the Ballet Folklórico of México to rescue the dancing traditions of Mexico. The award-winning company of classically trained dancers has since achieved international success, delighting audiences in over 5,000 performances worldwide with vibrant dance, music, and costumes that exude the spirit of Mexico. “Passionate…impeccable…an unequaled point of entry to the riches of a fabulous culture!” – Los Angeles Times
