Here in America
Over here in the United States, traditional dances of Mexico have permeated into our culture as well. There are many classical Mexican dance groups rehearsing and performing in America, and many are impressive with their articulate beauty of movement.
TheMexican Dance Ensemble, based in Chicago, is a prime example of this cultural crossover. Founded in 2001, the MDE started out with 22 dancers, and has now grown to 100. The more advanced dancers perform all over the region, as well as in other states. They serve to promote and preserve Mexican folkloric dance to their local communities, maintaining joy in their performances and teaching about a fascinating group of people at the same time.
Mexican Americans can attest to the importance of dance and movement in their culture, however it’s best understood when seen for oneself. Check out your city’s local events to see if any Mexican cultural events are being held. If so, you’re sure to find some traditional dances of Mexico. And of course, if you ever find yourself traveling to this beautiful country, take some time to discover some great dancing in its native environment. You won’t be disappointed.
