The colourful costumes and ephemeral shapes drawn by the bodies’ movements, hint over the air all richness Mexico’s diversity confer. Skirts’ fullness and colours, along with variety of thematic and every native dance, harmonise the magic mosaic our Mexico is.

Music and dance are two of the manifestations of human life that best reflects the outward expressions of culture, religious beliefs and ethnic and social profiles of the people.

The dance among Aztecs was a magical art with religious meaning, it was only for rituals. According to testimonies of chroniclers of the 16th century, documenting the existence of Indigenous dances. Dances brought by the colonists, indigenous dances and our third root from Africa, weave together the "beautiful gold braid" of Mexican dance.

Mexico has a huge dance tradition with four main elements: the three ethnic groups from which they were originated and their influences from other cultures that have come together. These elements are, first, the survival of pre-Hispanic cultural foundations; second, the Spanish influence exerted from the Conquest permeated by elements turn the rest of Europe, and Arab and African models; third, cultural elements form African peoples that were introduced during the colonial times, mainly to coastal areas; and finally, indirectly, the influence of West Indian and South American countries, the southern United States and some European countries who had an intervention, directly or indirectly, in the history of Mexico, mainly France, England and Austria.
