Hi Vanessa! I love your website. We miss your lovely smile and talented dancing. However, let me correct a mistake in your site... EL BALLET FOLKLORICO MEXICANO de OKINAWA is alive and well and thriving in Okinawa under the direction of Miss Laura Torres. I should know since I am now the "SENIOR" member (meaning I am 50 years of age and dancing the Vera Cruz) of the dance troupe. We have a huge children's company and a teen company and good sized adult company. We continue on the tradition of EL BALLET proudly and want to let it be known that anyone anticipating orders to Okinawa is welcome to join us. Our newest dance to be debut in December is "La Bruja" and we are all so excited about this. So, see? The colorful whirling dresses and shouts of los gritos continues. Please correct your website. Thank you and our best to your family! Barbara Cochran, publicist El Ballet Folklorico Mexicano de Okinawa Okinawa's One and Only Premier Mexican Dance Company

I'm the advisor/mentor for Mills High School Latina Mentor Program. We have 17 Latinas who have been dancing Folklorico for 4 years as a self-esteem builder. They have been taught by various instructors from professionals (when we can afford it) to Folklo ic students. We will be losing our current instructor in June (she's graduating!) and now we are in desperate need of someone willing to donate their time or for a small fee. B/F has been a wonderful skill and life saver for these high risk Latinas. They ave blossomed and grown so much !! I hate to see this end. Help ! Do you have any suggestions or contacts here who would be willing to help out ?? Thanks for having this web page.

Hey girl!! I was looking through the folklorico groups and I saw your page!! How have you been?? My friend Cassandra Garcia told me about your page before, but this is the first time that I have actually seen it. I'm glad to see that you still dance. I still dance too. I'm in El Ballet Folklorico de Hawaii. Cassandra dances with me too. Carlos started the group over here too. Is it true that the old Ballet in Okinawa is no longer in existence?? That's really sad, we had a lot of fun. Do you do d nces from any regions other that Jalisco and Veracruz?? Well i just wanted to say hi. Jose.... from El Ballet Folklorico de Okinawa.

Hola, Primero deseo de felicitarte en sus actividades. Acabo de salir por la manana desde Desert Hot Springs. Cada vez estoy en el area del Valle de Coachella me siento bien deprimido porque parece la luna, sin gente, o bien GABACHO CORRIENTE. Mira, aca en Los Angles-Santa Ana no es un jardin de rosas. Mas bien, California tiene un escasez de cultura. Oiga, es bien, bien imporante que cuando difunde la cultura de la danza foclorica mexicana hay que hacerlo lo mas autentico. Por eso hay maestro que ensena los d mingos en el estilo de Mexico, y no en la manera bien crudo y medicore de Calfornia o estamos hundidos (EUA). Que me llamas para enterarse en que lugar: 1.562.8.02-9.843.Tenemos el mejor y MAS AUTENTICO ESTILO MEXICANO DE FALDEO. TAMBIEN LOS HOMBRES QUE B ILAN TIENEN QUE HACERLO. GRACIS.

If you can offer any advice regarding costuming, tocados, or music selections., please contact me. Gracias. Buena Suerte.

GREAT PAGE!! I have danced ballet folklorico since I was a child, beginning with Ballet Folklorico de Santa Fe. Now due to college and work, I only study off and on with Baila Baila! in Albuquerque, NM. I would love hearing how you started your group. There are no traditional ballet folklorico groups in northern NM and I would consider starting my own.
