Artistry of Mexican culture comes to Wickenburg stage

Posted

Ballet Folklórico de México’s company of 45 dancers and musicians celebrate the rich history and vibrant folklore of Mexican culture 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, at the Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts in Wickenburg, 1090 S. Vulture Mine Road.

Founded in 1952 by Amalia Hernández, the dancer and choreographer revolutionized the concept of Mexican traditional dance and forever transformed its impact. Hernández devoted her time to researching the folklore, music, costumes and dance of the diverse geographic regions of Mexico, and brought them to life creating performances that are a portrait of the country’s beauty, diversity and storied past.

Through motion and costumes, each dance tells a unique story and showcases the folklore of Mexico dating from pre-Colombian civilizations through the modern era.

Ballet Folklórico will demonstrate a collection of these traditional dances blending ancient indigenous rituals and Spanish flamenco with German polkas, Afro-Caribbean rhythms and classical ballet to become something new and genuinely Mexican.

Tickets for the Thursday, Feb. 20 performance tart at $40 for adults and $5 for ages 18 and younger.

Call 928-684-6624 or visit dewpac.org.
