Ballet Folklórico de México de Amalia Hernández

Municipal Auditorium

Ballet Folklórico of México, founded and directed by dancer choreographer Amalia Hernandez, captures the beauty of the universe in motion starting with pre-Colombian civilizations, growing Spanish influences of the Vice-Royal era up to the popular strength of the Revolutionary years. The present time fades before your eyes and thus commences our journey through the past. The Lords of Heaven and Earth come back to life, the Jaguars, the Gods born of human flesh, thirty different cultures that once blossomed in ancient centuries, leaving behind a trail of color. The music, technical perfection, sophisticated wardrobe and original choreography create this singular ballet experience.
