A Seattle-based company brings Mexican folklórico dance to the stage, showcasing regional traditions through traditional dress, choreography and music.
Bailadores de Bronce bring Mexican folklórico to The Moore Theatre on Friday, October 23, at 11 AM. They're a Seattle-based company, so this is a local group performing in their own city, and the morning slot makes it a matinee.
Their repertoire travels through the country's regional traditions rather than sticking to one style. They pull from the northern ranch culture of Sonora Bronco, the rhythms of the Pacific coast in Jalisco and Nayarit Costa, and the distinct musicality of Guerrero Tierra Caliente. Each piece is built around the traditional dress, choreography, and music of the state it comes from, so the costumes and the dancing change as the show moves from one region to another.
They often share the stage with other folklórico ensembles and live mariachi, and the whole thing is about bringing these regional traditions to the stage. If you're not familiar with folklórico, it's a folk dance that's deeply tied to the different states of Mexico, and that's exactly what they're tracing here—from the north down to the coast and into the heart of the country.
