MCDC Ballet Folklorico Classes!

Our classes are for people of all ages who want to dance and learn the rich history of Folklorico. Each age group will learn: stamina, cardio, fitness, posture, stage presence, acting, character interpretation, and memorization. If you are a first timer dancer, you can build these attributes as long as you practice at home regularly between weekly sessions and with determination. All groups perform in shows.

Why We Encourage a 2nd Class for MCDC Ballet Folklorico Students

At MCDC, we believe in fostering well-rounded dancers with strong technical foundations, which is why we require all students enrolled in our Ballet Folklorico classes to also participate in a developing skills class (Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, or Technique).

While Ballet Folklorico offers unique cultural and artistic experiences, a second class helps build the necessary strength, flexibility, and technique that will enhance their overall dance abilities. Classes like Ballet, Jazz, or Technique are essential for developing stamina, fitness, posture, and coordination—skills that directly benefit their performance in Folklorico.

Dancing is a physical discipline, and practicing regularly between sessions will allow students to grow faster, build confidence, and perform with greater skill. This combined approach ensures that students receive a comprehensive dance education and perform at their best in all our shows.

Thank you for supporting your dancer’s journey with us!
