Ballet Folklórico México Azteca (website)
Human beings express themselves through movement. Dance is the transformation of normal functions and common expressions into movements for extraordinary purposes. Dance can be recreational, ritual, or artistic and goes beyond the functional purpose of everyday movements and sports – it helps us to express emotions or ideas.
Ballet Folklórico México Azteca (BFMA) is a non-profit organization founded on the principles of equality and freedom of expression. BFMA is committed to elevating our community through art education.
This organization’s primary objectives are to keep young and adult people away from idleness and non-productive activities, offer a traditional Mexican performing platform for emerging artist, and enhance the importance and value of the arts and the artist community.
Our repertoire focuses on the preservation of our Mexican Traditions colored with our won expression of this magnificent and varied heritage.
Our Mission
BFMA provides challenging environment that promotes cultural awareness, preserve the Mexican Folkloric Arts, and cultivates interest in dance by striving for the highest level of artistic excellence.
BFMA is operated as a collaborative effort that provides an opportunity, outside of dancing, for each member to contribute his/her distinctive talents and skills. This organization encourages unity, poise, self-confidence, and discipline in an environment that reflects cultural and social diversity.
Ballet Folklórico México Azteca has a very significant goal: “To preserve and maintain the culture of Mexico through the performance of traditional Mexican dance and to increase the knowledge of the Mexican culture in all those who are interested.”
The intention of Ballet Folklórico México Azteca is to educate our dancers in the styles of dance representing the various regions of Mexico and to create educational programs in schools throughout Minnesota as we know this is the perfect age to begin artistic development in students.
