Ballet Folklorico Dance 5-12 yrs

Does your body move when you hear the Soundtracks of 'Coco' or ' The Book of Life' or ‘Encanto’? Well then this is the Dance class for you! Ballet folklorico is folk dance from Mexico and Latin America. Your child will learn the Art of Dance as she or he embraces the Mexican and Latin culture. They will learn the various styles and dance techniques from several regions of Mexico. Some folk dances in Mexico and Central America can be traced back to indigenous traditions and ancient cultures. Other dances are derived from the time the Spanish colonized Mexico, and some of the Dances are a fusion of the two cultures.

Please wear comfortable stretchable clothing and tennis shoes (or bring Folklorico shoes if you already have them). Girls, please bring a Folklorico skirt.
