Guadalupe Dance Company

Unique among the nation’s dance companies, the Guadalupe Dance Company is one of the leading professional Folklórico and Flamenco dance groups. Founded in 1992, the unparalleled skill, choreography and costuming of its corps of dancers, under the direction of Belinda Menchaca, make for exceptional artistry that is both culturally enlightening and technically stunning in its execution. With the guidance of instructors from Mexico, the Company performs traditional Mexican Folklórico and Aztec dances, Flamenco and Spanish classical dance, contemporary theatrical pieces, and dances of the Texas-Mexico border from indigenous times to the 20th century. Dancers must be trained in various styles of dance to be a candidate for Company Apprentice and are selected by the director through the adult Academy classes. The Dance Company is available for local performances as well as for touring offering full-length performances and lecture demonstrations for schools.
