"Passionate…impeccable…an unequaled point of entry to the riches of a fabulous culture!" —Los Angeles Times
Created in 1952 by acclaimed dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernàndez,
Mexico’s oldest, finest and most celebrated dance company keeps historic
folk dance traditions alive and thriving in a sensory feast of spectacular
costuming, whirling colors, traditional music, and glorious ceremonial rituals.
Hernàndez researched Mexico’s native cultures and created new folkloric
dances for stages worldwide until her death in 2000. Her legacy lives on as
her company performs in residence at Mexico City’s famed Palace de Bellas
Artes and a 58-member touring group brings Mexico to the world.
