About Us

"The Heart of Mexico"

 "El Corazon de Mexico" demonstrates the beauty and charm of the culture in performing from a repertoire of over 100 dances. Mexico is made up of 31 states. Each state has a unique style of music, dance and costume. Each performance gives the audience a taste of the variety within this art.   

"El Corazon de Mexico" consists of over 60 dancers ranging in age from 6 to 39 years.  

A sincere desire to learn both Mexican dancing and tradition, along with dedication to hard work and weekly practice throughout the entire year, are asked of all dancers. In return they receive a new awareness of their heritage, good leadership skills and an education in both the history and culture of Mexico. Their many talents come together to create a beautiful and exciting performance.
