Ballet Folklorico Mexico
The Ballet Folklorico Mexico sizzled at the Columbus 4th of July Festival last week. Colorful dresses twirled and headdresses sliced the smokey air as bratwurst cooked on the grill behind them.

Oh those costumes look beautiful! It reminds me of the Latin contestants' costumes at Miss Universe! Very colorful and extravagant!

I'm trying to find out more about this group and "colorful" is a good description.
DeleteWow! wonderful coverage.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the shots were so smoky at first and I don't have many good pics of the 10-year-old group but you can feel the energy nonetheless.
DeleteWow, very colourful photos!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to be the one standing relatively still and taking photos in the heat that's for sure.
DeleteWhat an incredible costume! Love the details and the vivid colors..it must be one great show!
ReplyDeleteI caught a few different numbers, young dancers, traditional looking Mexican and Aztec.
DeleteThat is so fun!
ReplyDeleteI had a great seat for much of it then knew I had to work around the bratwurst smoke to get some better shots.
DeleteBrilliant post, love the feathers.
ReplyDeleteI was hot just walking over to see them and standing there, I was surprised the feathers didn't wilt or whatever hot feathers do.
DeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteThey're a talented troupe.
DeleteFantastic action shots and regalia.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they do it in the warm weather, Colleen.
DeleteHow fantastic! It certainly was great to witness this!
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping an eye out for their next performance, Ritta.
DeleteThey are amazing. I saw them years ago in Mexico City.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few groups with this name and I think this one has de los hermanos Avila at the end of it, distinguishing them from other Folklorico troupes. I messaged the people who hosted this particular event and they didn't know much. They said to ask some guy at a local restuarant, lol.
DeleteThese photos are stunning! The costumes - wow! I would love to see them dance in person.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to see them again now that I know they exist.
Deletevery colorful dancing going on :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't believe how many dancers there were.
