Xochipilli

The Mexican Folkloric Ballet "Xochipilli" (zo-chi-pee-lee)

The Mexican Folkloric Ballet "Xochipilli" (zo-chi-pee-lee) is formed by approximately 30 young students and hard working individuals from the greater New Brunswick area. They practice and rescue their rich Mexican ancestral traditions through the native dances of the more than fifty regions in Mexico. The Mexican Folkloric Ballet has been performing and practicing during the last three years and they have taken their art and culture to hundreds of people throughout the state.

Mr. Victor Cortez, the Artistic Director, has learned and performed Traditional Mexican Folklore for the past 10 years. Parents form a support committee that provides financial and parental supervision to Xochipilli's youngest members. Ms. Alejandrina Cruz is the president of the Parents Committee for the dance group.

"Xochipilli" is part of Cultural Unity, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational, cultural and recreational activities to the greater New Brunswick community.
