Sembrando Flores
A 25th Anniversary Celebration
This performance is a celebration of our Mexican traditions and our commitment to passing these customs down to the younger generation through the art of dance.
The title “Sembrando Flores,” or “planting flowers,” symbolizes the cultivation of love, joy, and wisdom within our community. It is a legacy that began over 25 years ago when our founder, Mario Galindo, started Ballet Folklorico Xochitl. Since then, the group has been passed down to his daughter, and it is truly amazing to see how much the group has flourished over the years. In this performance, you will see various states of Mexico represented, including Veracruz, Nuevo Leon, Jalisco, Nayarit, and many others. We look forward to sharing this vibrant cultural experience with you.

Testimonials
“I hired Ballet Folklorico Xochitl for my wedding October 2023. Throughout the year, Lety, was very informative about the styles and answered all my questions at any time of the day. We spoke on the phone and invited me several times to see them live before booking. They are very professional and trustworthy. They played during dinner and they did an AMAZING job. They arrived on time and worked with the wedding coordinator. I was at ease. All the guest were entertained and the dancers were smiling throughout the dance. I highly recommended!.”
