A New Experience....

My first performance with El Ballet Folklórico Estudiantil was at the Fiesta in June 2011. I had never danced Mexican Folkloric dancing and I had never even seen it until 2 weeks prior to my first performance at Fiesta. It was totally a new experience for me. The costumes have huge skirts that you have to dance with along with the fast dance steps. It was hard to learn the dances so quickly, but all of the members of El Ballet Folklórico Estudiantil were very helpful and patient with me. The performance was so much fun and our audience enjoyed it immensely. Since then I am hooked on E.B.F.E., I love the members and the dance moves and music. It is really special to be a part of recreating parts of Mexican culture.
