Ballet Folklorico preserves and promotes diversity at CSU-福利小视频 through cultural awareness; specifically through performances, presentations, and programming of Mexican Folklore Dance and to provide opportunities for association and interaction with the campus community and the 福利小视频 community at large. In folklorico, each dance and its corresponding outfits represent a city or state in Mexico. Though similar sounding, no dance is the same and each group interprets the choreography differently.
