Group Director and Founder

bgImage

I am Maria Valdovinos director of Ballet Folklorico Raices Mexicanas. I love to spread the folklorico culture and continue the roots of the Mexican Heritage. I started dancing at the age of 11 and just fell in love with it! At the age of 19 after graduating from College I decided it was time to start my own group and it was the best decision I have ever made! I love to see my students grow with their culture being a huge part of their lives!
