During their eight-day visit, the group will conduct 16 educational performances, reaching mostly PreK-8 graders in Orange County. Founded in 1972 Ballet Folklorico has performed in all over the world.Their bilingual performances take students on a high-energy journey through the varied customs and traditions of Mexican culture, showcasing lively dances lavish costumes and musical instruments.Through their work, the group aims to awaken a sense of culture within the students' own lives, creating interest and pride in their own cultural backgrounds and engendering a sense of respect for other cultures We hope their visit to our community will not only provide a unique experience to area youth but will also encourage the growing population of Spanish-speaking students to embrace their identity as a source of pride and will generate respect among all students for people who may be different from themselves. Support from the Orange County Arts Commission would help to support the artist fee to bring this performer to our community and make these opportunities possible. Questions? Call 9191968-2011.
