Ballet Folklórico de Mexico de Amalia Hernandez

Founded in 1952 by the dancer and choreographer Amalia Hernández, the Ballet Folklórico de México revolutionized the concept of traditional dance and transformed the history of Mexican dance, laying the groundwork and setting the tone for thousands of dance troupes in Mexico and abroad with the characteristic seal of its creator. Her hard work resulted in a group with a sense of discipline, perseverance and extraordinary teamwork that became the first professional folkloric dance company. Transcendental to the history of dance in Mexico, it also created a cultural management model never seen before in the country.
