Description
Founded in 1999, Mexico 2000 is a professional dance ensemble. Bring the flare of Mexican culture to your event! Dance performances are fast-paced and nonstop, featuring dances from different regions with their European, Mayan/pre-Columbian, and South American influences. These dances highlight the beauty, romance, and culture of traditional Mexico. The programs ‘Fiestas de Mexico!’ ‘Dia de Muertos’ & ‘Christmas in Mexico’ are available in an educational and concert-type option. Presentations range from 20 minutes to 2 hours. At Fiestas de Mexico educational school shows, audiences will learn history about Mexican holidays while connecting to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills in Spanish, language arts, social studies, fine arts, and music while enjoying the most beautiful and representative dances, costumes and music from different regions of Mexico. During these interactive shows, audiences will participate by clapping, yelling (cheers of joy/gritos), and stomping, and students will try out steps with music on stage. School study guides and concert programs are available. ‘Christmas in Mexico’ is a compilation of Christmas traditions, dances & songs. Dia de Muertos incorporates the traditions of the mystical altars to welcome the spirits that come back to visit their families. Shows are focused to preserve and promote Mexican traditional heritage. Photo by Leopoldo A. Palencia.
