Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico

 

The Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico emphasizes the exhibition of great dance skills, as well as an in-depth understanding of Mexico's folklore and heritage.  We, as an arts organization, believe in the power and beauty of dance; its innate ability to transform perspective, introduce new thought, and remind us of where we have been as we keep our eye on the future.

 

Folklorico Fact!

Yucatan (Southeast Peninsula) - Yucatan is another Spanish trade port and Mayan kingdom conquest on the Gulf of Mexico. The Spanish and Mayan influence on wear is again notable. The same white guayabera shirt and pants and red bandana for men. The women wear a Mayan design dress trimmed in white lace brightly embroidered with flowers, wearing shawls. Their hair up in combs. The music is acoustical and includes drums and tuba. The Mayan people are still very visible in this state.
