THE 2023 Ballet Folklorico Conference/Showcase Is Postponed this Year

Ballet Folklorico Showcase Rules

Unfortunately, Ballet Folklorico will be postponed for this year.  We hope to bring back this beautiful art form back to our Mariachi conference in 2024.  Mariachi Spectacular’s Folklorico Showcase provides a variety of performances and talent levels on display. As an art form, Ballet Folklorico is composed of ballet steps and musical pieces reflecting various regions and folk music genres of Mexico. The regions performed can be Vera Cruz, Guanajuato, Chihuahua as a small sampling but there are many others. Performances are both colorful in costume and design but also artful in the music presented and of course the grace of the dance form itself. Ballet Folklorico groups from around the country are represented at the Mariachi Spectacular’s Ballet Folklorico Showcase Competition.
