About Us

Ballet Folkorico La Paloma is a non-profit organization dedicated to perpetuating the native folk dances of Mexico. By doing so, we hope to arouse pride and heritage in the Mexican- American community.
We also educate the general public through our colorful and entertaining performances. Ballet Folklorico La Paloma has responded to the need of positive and responsive programs for young people in our community since
1982. Through the reinvestment of time, funds, and energy we have been able to help develop positive, and committed young people who will make a better future for generations to come.

We had the privilege of performing at the end of the motion picture "Young Guns II", starring Emilio Estevez and Lou Diamond Phillips.
Ballet Folklorico La Paloma has performed throughout the Tucson community at annual festivals such as the world known as " International Mariachi Conference
(Noche Garibaldi)". We have also volunteered to perform in Los Angeles California for the Spina Bifida Foundation.
Ballet Folklorico La Paloma performed in a concert for the National Association for Folklorico Groups in 1997 in the city of Kansas City Missouri.
