    Creative Director of Ballet Folklorico Xochitl

    It has been an incredible honor to be a part of this organization for two decades, having danced with the group for 20 years and more recently, having the privilege of teaching for the past 8 years.

    Dancing folklórico has been a profoundly enriching experience, offering me a unique path to learn and appreciate my Mexican culture. Now, in my role as a teacher, I cherish the opportunity to pass on this rich cultural heritage and knowledge to my students, fostering their own connection to these beautiful traditions.

    While navigating the diverse personalities and age groups within our classes can sometimes present challenges, these moments are always overshadowed by the immense joy of seeing my dancers come together and perform with their whole hearts. Witnessing our collective hard work culminate in a beautiful work of art on stage is a truly rewarding experience.

    I also want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to my parents for their unwavering support throughout my entire folklórico journey. A special thank you goes to my dad for introducing me to this beautiful art form and for his guidance. I sincerely hope he is proud of how far BFX has come, and of all the wonderful opportunities and cherished memories we have created together as a group over the years.
