About TAMU Ballet Folklorico Celestial
In 1991, Ballet Folklorico Celestial was founded when individuals decided to turn their shared interests into an official Student Club. After a couple of quick meetings, we were on our way to creating something extraordinary.
TAMU Ballet Folklorico Celestial is a student organization that teaches and performs traditional Mexican-style dancing. We are passionate about promoting Mexican culture, and we hope to showcase our colorful and rich culture to our community by dancing and performing.
With time, we’ve grown as an organization and took our interests to new levels. When you decide to join us, you will gain access to various events and, more importantly, to a community of people who are just as passionate as you are.
Students, faculty, and staff are all welcome. NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED TO JOIN!

"BFC helped me discover a passion I didn’t even know I had. I’ve never considered myself a dancer, but this org has taught me that with patience, time, and energy, you really can improve. One of my favorite things about folklórico is how fun and uplifting it is. It’s something I genuinely look forward to every week. I’ve built lasting connections through this community, and as a future educator, I deeply value the way it celebrates culture, creativity, and growth!"
