Ballet Folklórico de México was founded in 1952 by Amalia Hernández, a dancer and choreographer, to ensure the traditional dances of Mexico would be preserved for generations to come. Ms. Hernández managed to project to the world the beauty of Mexico through movement, from pre-Columbian cultures and Spanish influences to the revolutionary times.
Join us for a dive into Mexico’s long history and exciting culture through the power of dance. Take in the vibrant costumes, lively movement and formations, and the invigorating music on this journey from the ancient Aztec era to modern day through dances inspired by rituals, revolutions, and festivals.

Amalia Hernández fue una bailarina y coreógrafa, fundadora en 1952 del Ballet Folklórico de México. Desde muy joven inició un largo trayecto por la cultura mexicana que la llevaría a rescatar las danzas tradicionales de los diversos rincones de México. Ella logró proyectar ante el mundo la belleza de las diferentes regiones de nuestro país a través del movimiento, desde las culturas precolombinas, las influencias españolas en la época del virreinato hasta la fuerza popular de los tiempos revolucionarios.
Con sus primeras presentaciones en 1952 obtuvo el reconocimiento del público como representante cultural de México. Su gran éxito logró establecer al Ballet en el Palacio de Bellas Artes como su sede permanente a partir del 11 de octubre de 1959.
Con más de 30 millones de espectadores e innumerables reconocimientos, el legado artístico de Amalia Hernández permanece vigente gracias a las más de 120 coreografías originales y con gran rigor técnico, elaborados trajes típicos y artistas de primer nivel, consolidándose como la mejor compañía del mundo en su género.
