Our VISION
We work together to invigorate the community of Clark County and beyond with musical and colorful installations of traditional dances, celebrations and crafts of Mexico, embracing both the indigenous history and the Spanish influence.
What is FOLKLÓRICO? Folklórico (folk-lori-co) is an authentic expression of a culture and it embraces its traditions, legends, myths, music and art, transmitted generation to generation.
The costumes and the music reflect the living cultures of their regions, respectively. The elements of Mexico’s culture are combined together to produce a language of movement, rich traditions and the merging of two strong elements; Indigenous and Spaniard. |
