love this video 💛 great job!! I feel like a lot of the topics you mentioned in your video like the importance/influence of Mexican history on the genre, cultural appropriation, and the representation of the different peoples of Mexico aren't discussed/implemented enough in the folklorico community, especially here in the U.S. As a dancer of 12 years and future anthropology student I'm excited to conduct research on those very topics you brought up (:
HI Ale! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, I feel the same way about how history needs to be taught more because it just helps us, dancers, better understand the reasoning behind everything and can help with bringing a character to life. I'm so excited about your studies and I hope you share them in the community. I look forward to hearing what you learn! :)
I’m interested in connecting closer to where I come from my family doesn’t really do much thing cultural or celebrate any holidays I wasn’t taught much Spanish either. Im turning 16 do you think it may be to late to learn and im not really sure in where to start as it is broad. I want to learn something more modern but traditional so what lessons should I look for or should I learn all styles? Any suggestions on where I start looking for lessons? I’d really appreciate a reply thank you your videos are really helpful but I’m still confused
Hey Brianna, it’s never too late to get in touch with your heritage! There’s so many aspects to a culture that it’s okay not to know where to start, it’s not an overnight process. I’m always learning something about our culture everyday and there’s still more I need to learn. I recommend you start by tapping into an area that interests you and go from there. Such as the cuisine, language, pop culture etc. I think if you have the resources available to you, I suggest you learn both transitional and stylized folklorico. That way you can broaden your perspective but also learn the traditions. I respect both styles and find both beautiful in their own ways. You can do a quick Facebook or google search for groups in your area, or even just ask those around you! Hope this helps! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
@@carmenxflores thanks for the reply I actually found a group on Facebook that let me register for classes in March. I’m doing some camps this summer also to get me closer to the community and culture. I’m glad that I get to connect to something that’s apart of my heritage and as you said it won’t just happen overnight. Thank you however for your comment and suggesting where to look, happy holidays!
Very good. Especially the end about cultural appropriation. I have seen stuff lately that makes me uncomfortable and seems disturbingly like cultural appropriation. Also, the question of whether it is about the culture and tradition or about being a star.
Yes, it’s important we address this and educate ourselves about cultural appropriation. If groups are choosing not to follow the traditions exactly but be inspired by it, it needs to be clearly stated and credit given to the art. This is a tricky topic because there’s not enough knowledge on what exactly is cultural appropriation but I found the article I linked in the description helps out tremendously!
I get mine in Olvera street in Los Angeles there’s a few stores that carry them and they usually range about $15-$20. The Anaheim indoor swapmeet also carries filigrana earrings and El Mercado in Boyle Heights. For online I know there’s Mariachi Connection that carries some too.

Hi question? Where do you purchase your earnings?
I get mine in Olvera street in Los Angeles there’s a few stores that carry them and they usually range about $15-$20. The Anaheim indoor swapmeet also carries filigrana earrings and El Mercado in Boyle Heights. For online I know there’s Mariachi Connection that carries some too.
Thank you I will go soon 🌻
Tu mantilla está colocada al revés! 🤭
Yo sé. 😭🤦🏻♀️ Como mensa me di cuenta después de tomar las fotos, pero no quiero que las fotos se hecha a perder.
