Ballet Folklórico de la Raza Ballet Folklórico de la Raza is a non-profit organization founded by Connie Solano de Benavidez in 1994.

Based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, we are dedicated to bringing the beauty of Mexican folklórico dance and training to all. With little to no cost to the dancers or community, Ballet Folklórico de la Raza has been providing lessons and performances to the community all on a volunteer basis. Connie hand makes and mends the traditional garments for the various regions that are performed. You can view one of her very first Jalisco vestidos on display in the “Una Familia Grande: The Conejos Neighborhood Project” Exhibit at the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum. Our most notable performance was in 2013 where we were nominated and selected to represent the State of Colorado and performed at the 57th Inaugural Parade in Washington, D.C because of our dedication and sharing of the beautiful Mexican culture.

Just a quick heads-up for anyone heading to State Fair Fiesta Day today:

🚨 We will NOT be dancing at Fiesta Day today.

Unfortunately, there was a misprint in the event program that could not be corrected in time. Since we’ve been part of this event for over 30 years, we know many of you may be expecting to see us there, so we wanted to make sure our followers were aware.

While you won’t see us on the stage today, we hope you’ll still head out, enjoy the festivities, and support the amazing dancers, performers, and musicians who are sharing their traditions and talents today. ❤️🌎💃🏽

And if you were hoping to see us dance, we’ll see you Saturday 9/12 at Fiesta Patrias at the Colorado Springs Flea Market! 💃🏽🎉 We’d love to see you there!

Have a wonderful Fiesta Day and keep celebrating the beautiful culture being shared today! ❤️🇲🇽

El éxito en la danza folclórica mexicana no solo se ve… se siente en cada paso. 💃🇲🇽
Detrás del color, los aplausos y el escenario, hay horas de ensayo, disciplina y amor profundo por nuestras raíces. 🌺🎶
Porque no es solo bailar… es llevar la cultura en el alma y representarla con orgullo. ❤️✨
