About 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.

 

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!

Dances

Below are detailed descriptions of the origins of the dances we perform from each region.

Huasteca Tamaulipas 

In Tamaulipas, the grand tradition is the “huapangos,” a word that derives from the Nahuatl Huapantli-co meaning "danced over wood." The music from the Huasteca region of Tamaulipas (the southern region) is very rhythmic and cheerful. The instruments employed in this rhythm are the violin, the “jarana,” and the “huapanguera.”
