Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Ballet Folklórico COSTA DE ORO is considered a rising star in the northern California folklorico scene as well as in other areas of the country.
Formed in 2005 as an offshoot of another Bay Area folklorico troupe, COSTA DE ORO’S principal artists have been dancing together for many years, some since their early teens. Several lead dancers have performed with the world famous Ballet Folklórico de México of Amalia Hernandez while other company members have trained in Mexico as well.
The Ballet Folklórico COSTA DE ORO is known for its creative choreography and its comprehensive performance repertoire. The East Bay Express hails the show as “imaginative,” Arizona’s Coolidge News calls it “tightly choreographed and expertly performed,” and the Honolulu Weekly writes that it is a “treasure chest of Mexican traditions.”
Besides their performing and touring company, COSTA DE ORO has a training academy in folklorico dance and regularly engages in outreach programs to schools and community agencies. The troupe has also performed “Pre-Game” and “Halftime Shows” for the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco 49ers.
Los Danzantes de Aztlán was founded in 1970 by the beloved Prof. Ernesto Martinez as part of California State University Fresno's Chicano/Latin American Studies Department and is under the current Direction of Dr. Victor Torres. The vibrant Danzantes offer a spectacular and colorful expression of Mexican regional dances. The Dance Company consists of members majoring in such diverse areas as education, engineering, business, health science and other academic areas. Los Danzantes de Aztlán plays a very important role in fostering cultural pride and cultural appreciation both on and off-campus. The Dance Company serves as an important representative of California State University, Fresno, and as such, is the only one of its kind to be officially recognized by the California State University.
