Ballet Folklorico Azatlan is a performing group and presentations are conducted in a professional manner with emphasis on showmanship, choreography, footwork, and body style. The costumes are beautiful, yet traditional, from the headpieces down to the shoes. This is not a Folklorico that simply allows its dancers to jump around on stage looking silly; it is a group that emphasizes entertaining the audience with stage presence from entrance to exit in a professional manner.

Ballet Folklorico Azatlan presents Mexican dances from twelve states of Mexico:

  • Nayarit – One of our most popular presentations where the girls balance glasses of water on their heads while dancing and using intricate skirt movements
  • Azteca Concheros (Pre-Columbian) – Dancers dance to a live drum percussionist and head-dresses made of feather plums
  • Michoacan – Including “Baile de Los Viejitos”
  • Jalisco – Including the “Charras” segment with riatas
  • Yucatan – Including the “Baile de Las Cintas” (Maypole dance)
  • Tamaulipas
  • Chiapas
  • Veracruz
  • Norte
  • Guerrero
  • Sinaloa
  • Baja California Sur
