The Ballet Folclórico was featured in the original production of “Xcaret Mexico Espectacular,” which performed 365 days a year for nearly 20 years, with over 200 artists taking the stage throughout its run. This show was directed and choreographed entirely by SILVIA LOZANO, General Director and Choreographer of BFNM.
The Ballet Folclórico features dances and choreographies that can be customized to the needs of each unique performance space. They have performed in traditional theatre settings, as well as in stadiums, arenas, and parks.
