ICYMI: North Texas Ballet Folklorico Contest 2026

Color, rhythm, and tradition filled the stage at the 5th Annual North Texas Ballet Folklórico Contest!
This year’s celebration was our biggest yet, with more than 500 students competing from schools across the state of Texas. For the first time, the contest welcomed dancers from elementary, junior high, and high schools, creating an incredible showcase of talent across multiple age groups.
Each performance brought its own spirit and storytelling, highlighting the beauty and legacy of Mexican folklórico through music, movement, and vibrant cultural pride.
A huge GRACIAS to the students, educators, and judges who made the day such a success—and to the Holloway Family Foundation for their support. We’re so proud to host this growing tradition and can’t wait to see these talented dancers take the stage again!
