Established in 1985, this outstanding company has delighted audiences from Europe to Indonesia. Now under direction of veteran dancer Hugo Betancourt, "Quetzalli" has grown to be one of the most popular folklorico companies touring out of Mexico. The Ballet Folklorico "Quetzalli" is a group composed of young people who love the traditions of their people expressed through music, songs, and dances characteristic of different ethnic groups. They create their interpretations through technical formation, bibliographical study, and ritual observation. Wherever they perform, these talented dancers, singers and musicians provide a spectacular and colorful expression of the authentic folklore of Mexico.
