We have many community outreaches year round with the majority of them in September, December and May. When academy students are "performance ready" they are invited to participate. Historically our dancers perform 3-5 times per semester. 

All students participate in our group recital. For the 2025-26 season, the group recital will be held Saturday May 9, 2025 at 4pm at the Grapevine Palace Arts Center. Our mandatory group picture and dress rehearsal will be held the evening before, May 8th at 6pm.​ Please mark your calendars and plan all family events around this recital as it is our group's largest event and our entire school year is focused on preparing for this event.

If you are interested in having us perform, please reach out via our HIRE US page.

Yes! We will continue to practice our dances that we have previously learned (so we don't forget them) but every semester includes new dances and routines for all our classes.

Our academy accepts students of ALL levels and ages from 3 through 103... and believe it or not, it's never too late to learn! New and intermediate students take courses under our academy and are generally placed in their class by age (not level). Students who have a passion for folklorico, can audition for our company teams where dancers are placed by dance level. 

Please email us at balletfolkloricodfw@gmail.com to set up a trial class. If there is space in a class, dancers are welcomed to do a trial class. You'll be surprised how much you love it ;)
