Ballet Folklorico Performs For Cinco de Mayo at Will Rogers Elementary School in Santa Monica

Santa Monica Ballet Folklorico stands as the sole folkloric dance company in Santa Monica. Recently, they showcased their talent at the annual Cinco de Mayo celebration at Will Rogers Elementary School, a tradition that has been ongoing for over 25 years. Additionally, the company performed at the 3rd Street Promenade's Cinco de Mayo event this past Sunday.

Performing for the community and visitors of Santa Monica is a privilege that fosters unity. Cinco de Mayo, a holiday commemorating the Battle of Puebla, also holds significance in California’s history as the state was once part of Mexico. The celebration now serves as a gathering point for individuals from diverse backgrounds who come together to honor life.

This holiday is rich in dance, music, joy, history, culture, and learning opportunities. For those interested in scheduling Santa Monica Ballet Folklorico for upcoming events or enrolling in dance classes, please reach out via email at [email protected].
