Ballet Folk Performing Arts - Traditional Mexican folk dance - Despite the foreign influences spreading in contemporary 'popular' Mexican culture, it is decisive in Mexican mass culture at national and international level It became a factor. Although its history is chaotic, ballet folk tales have succeeded in occupying a place in the heart of Mexico. From the 19th century to the 20th century, the periodic wave of Mexican nationalism revived the folklore and continued to live until the middle of the 20th century. It was eventually taken into (and completely) popular culture. Ballet ballad is not a special dance style, it is a blend of various regions and ethnicities of Mexico. In fact, this term encompasses all kinds of traditional local dances. Consequently, the integration of ballet folk tales into popular culture can not be traced back to specific events, but it is the result of the fusion of nationalism, mastizers and indigenism.

Bailefolklórico, also known as ballet folklore, is a collective name for traditional Mexican dance which emphasizes local folk culture with the characteristics of ballet in Spanish "folk dance". As mentioned below, the establishment of bailefolklórico is due to Amalia Hernández Navarro. Bailefolklórico is different from danzas and regional bailes.

Each region of the Southwest and Central American countries Mexico is known for a few dances with its regional features.

In 1952, a dance teacher and choreographer Amalia Hernández of the Mexican dance academy established a dance company called Ballet Modernode Meéxico. There were only 8 members initially, and the group started announcing choreography by Amalia himself. In her first experience as an independent artist, she won her obvious success with the famous SonesdeMonoacán (Monoacán's melody). In 1958, the Mexican Tourism Board noticed Amalia Hernandez and asked to take a picture of her show on the street. The company visited Cuba and Canada and joined FestivaldelPacfico. In the same year, the group also visited Los Angeles to join the Mexican citizen's celebration. In the second year, Herne ndez was invited to overseas again at the Pan American competition in Chicago this time. For this purpose, she organized a tour that 50 companies adopted a name called BalletFolkl 3ricode Meéxico.
