Traveling across the country with a company of more than 50 members, Ballet Folklorico de Mexico de Amalia Hernández company will showcase their celebrated repertoire bringing together traditional dances from Mexico’s many regions presenting them in an innovative theatrical spectacular that has captivated audiences since the company’s debut in 1952. This 75th anniversary tour celebrates that enduring legacy with performances featuring the company’s signature combination of technical artistry, vibrant costumes, live music, dynamic choreography, and traditional Mexican music and dance.
“Our 75th anniversary is a celebration not only of Ballet Folklórico de México, but of the people, communities, traditions, and artists who have kept Mexico’s cultural heritage alive,” said Ballet Folklórico de México General Manager Salvador Lopez. “We are honored to bring the artistic legacy of Amalia Hernández to audiences throughout the United States and to introduce new generations to the beauty and diversity of Mexico.”
For 75 years, Ballet Folklórico de México de Amalia Hernández has shared Mexico’s rich cultural heritage with audiences around the world. Founded by visionary choreographer Amalia Hernández, the company continues to transform traditional Mexican dances into a spectacular theatrical experience while honoring the distinct regional cultures, history, music, and traditions from throughout Mexico.
Amalia Hernández created the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico in 1952. Her artistic motivation as choreographer was to recover and celebrate the traditions of Mexico through dance. Now, 75 years later, the company is considered the most important of its kind in the world. The company revolutionized the concept of traditional dance and transformed Mexican dance, laying the groundwork and setting the tone for thousands of dance troupes in Mexico and abroad with the singular vision of its creator. Amalia Hernández carried out in-depth research in the different states of the Mexican Republic, studying not only the traditional dances, but also the music, customs and typical costumes and then imbuing them with new meaning, recreating them, staging them and spreading knowledge of them through the theater. Through avant-garde thinking, she designed a show and created a cultural management model characterized by efficiency and professionalism onstage.
The company leadership remains a family endeavor. Today, the Ballet Folklórico de México tours under the general direction of Salvador Lopez, grandson of Amalia Hernández, and the artistic direction of Viviana Basanta Hernández, daughter of the late founder.
The 2027 US Tour will begin in late January with stops through March of 2027. The tour is booked by IMG Artists, an international artist, tour and event management and consulting specializing in the performing arts and cultural entertainment.
